I might get him from someone near me but I need to know if its a tremper or a bell. crappy pic but its the only one. I am not sure if I'll get it since i have been having bad luck in the past because they sell them before I get to them. well hope the pic works well enough to decipher its strain of albino.

yeah the guy i am getting him from has three geckos together which are on calci sand and so they havent eaten in a week so hopefully they arent inpacted and if they are hopefully they make it because the guy told me they are skinny. I am only paying $10 for it plus another one which looks like a baldy. I dont think they will make it but I am going to try to see. In the past I've had bad luck. I forgot to mention the guy also has another gecko in with them thats seems to be doing fine so I dont know what the problem is but I am thinking inpaction and also the other gecko could be an adult so maybe thats why its been able to pass the sand.

Well calci sand isn't much better than normal sand but that one in the pic doesn't look that bad yet, getting him in better conditions can only help.

Hahahaha. I wish he looked as good in as in the pic. The pic isnt updated. He is so small you barely could feel it on your finger. He tried to care for them good but the only thing I could see wrog was that he had a huge tank like a 70 wide tank and the water stuff was across the cage. The albino looks very dehydrated and maybe inpacted. I dont think It made it though the night I will have to check when I get home.

well I came home and they were dead. I saw grains of sand so they must od been inpacted. I gave them a little olive oil. When I inspected I saw nothing all i saw was dry looking skin with an empty inside. they looked flat. I emailed the person and tolled him what happend and told him to get his other geckos of the sand before it happens to it too.

yes they died. I shouldn't of bought them but I still did anyways. I didn't want to see them die. The baldy was nice looking he would of been a beautiful gecko and the albino was nice too. They looked like dried plants all shriveled up and weak.

well I dont know about the refund because I knew they would probably die and the guy knew it too. So it was my choice and I dont really care about the $10 but I am trying o tell him to get the other gecko off the sand before it dies. I am referring him to this website so he could ask you guys the sand thing because the vet he spoke to said it was fine. well hopefully he signs up to the site and asks the question.
