My best friend introduced me to one of his friends about 2 months ago. This mutual friend breeds snakes and beardies but also breeds leopard geckos on a small scale. I went to this mutual friends house the other day and was checking out his leos. Well what I saw was deplorable. His leopard geckos are kept in cages that look like they are never cleaned. He stated that they are cleaned every other day but there is now way they are. The mealies in the dishes are black. This leads me to believe that these gecko cages are cleaned maybe once a few weeks. I had made a comment once about this (as nice as I knew how) and one of the other guys that is a helper got pissed at me. This is a situation that I am kind of stuck. These guys know my disgust when I go there but the conditions do not change. You try to tell them but they say I read this or I read that in a book. The bottom line is this. I dont care what they read, what works- works period. I have geckos that are 2 months old that are bigger than some of theirs at 1 year old. I have let my best friend know many times how bad this pisses me off! If you are going to have an animal take care of it! They did not ask to be caged the best we can do is make there life the healthiest and best we can. If anyone has suggestions on how I should go about changing this (without turning the whole thing into a catastrophe let me know... Thanks, Dave... :main_angry::
