Super snow!?

[skully23]

I found this auction on a super snow leopard gecko on fb. It started at $5 but has got up to $50 as of now. It will end in the next 2 hours so I need answers ASAP. The shipping for me is $29.

I haven't owned a leopard gecko but I am experienced in reptiles. I would like a few good care sheets thrown at me.

How much do they go for and is that a good deal?

It is hard to say the worth of a gecko with very little knowledge of the genetics or the owner. If it is a line bred snow then it is probably worth a good bit. A lot of the time, breeders with bigger names are able to sell their geckos at a higher price since they are reputable and the customer knows they will be receiving a quality animal.

It is a super snow and $50 is a good price. I would be careful with that shipping price. At that rate, they are more then likely using USPS. To me, USPS is too much of a risk to use but that's my opinion. If I was interested in the gecko, I would inquire about the postal carrier they use. You might also research and find a reptile expo or private breeder locally.

It is from Magical Geckos, I say they are probably really good. They have a bunch of nice looking geckos and even ones for $800 ><

It is TSF, what does that mean?

where is tis auction at? do you have a link

 

[skully23]

It is on fb, Facebook.

Can someone give me some good care sheets?

I don't know if I should get this gecko, what do you guys think? I have had past lizards. Black Collards, Bearded dragon, and a chameleon. I use to have many turtles and corn snakes. I currently have a corn and 2 Ball pythons...working on 3 more BPs.

I'm not sure, maybe I shouldn't.

 

[Cesar_Da_KIng]

i would wait until after you have read up a bunch, not get the gecko and then read. Just google care sheets and you should fine good info on here

 

[skully23]

I am capable of keeping one. I volunteered for an animal sanctuary which had one. I was the reptile keeper, I'm not new. It would take me about 10mins to read up and get everything it needs. But I think I might just stick with my snakes for now since I plan to breed them this fall or next fall.

I just thought if it was a really good deal that I would steal it and maybe enjoy a little lizard.

 

[Cesar_Da_KIng]

now i wasnt saying you werent capable but getting all the info you need in ten min is not a good sign, if you really want one take your time, make shur you got it right , find exactly the one you want and then you dont have to worry about making mistakes do to spur of the moment discisions

 

[skully23]

Researching isn't hard when you already know things about any reptile. I dealt with a Chameleon on the "spur of a moment" but it turned out pretty good but chameleons can be a pain too.

I'll leave this one go, maybe read a few threads, and see what other deals come out.

Thanks everyone..

Now knowing that the SS is from Dennis, that is an unbelievable price!

 

[Angrychair]

ha had a few bids on that

If I were you, I would go to a reptile show if you have one close to your house because they tend to be a lot cheaper there!

If you do this, research the breeders before you go. Not everyone at the expos is a good breeder. Cheaper really isn't better.

Agree. I get my breeding stock from a select few. Anyone can get a table at a show.
