Today i was looking over the ads in the uk and the us and came across this guy and once again as you can see in the pics that they have no clue how to properly take care of these animals as you can see in the last pic and also i was wondering what that is on the gecko in the 3rd pic but i no thats obviosly not right http://www.hoobly.com/0/0/742876.html

Looks like the one gecko prolapsed and got sand attached to it hems.

 

[MrLeoGecko]

yep and what a supprise not taken to the vet but hes happy to make money out of it and let somebody eles pick up the pieces

Urggh! Thats a lot of poo, probably over a weeks worth?? Disgusting. There is obviously serious health problems with the gecko too, its blindingly obvious!!! How can they sell it in that condition???

Both pics 1 and 3 have prolapses with sand stuck to them. Those are bad too and haven't even been looked at. That is a problem with keeping them on sand. It irritates the hemipenis and then it gets stuck out. This can happen with any type of grainy substrate if breeding occurs. Sometimes it just happens though and then the sand irritates it so the swelling won't go back down to go back in. I had a male prolapse last year and took him straight to the vet, poor little guy had to get a stitch put in. But he was all good after about 2 weeks. It only cost about $50, so it wasn't crazy expensive. There is no reason to have those geckos like that.

i personally do not peruse craigslist or the likes for geckos.

 

[CSMGecko]

I don't either. I have thought of posting in craigslist but they say no breeders and I don't really want to be known as an affiliate of craigslist when it comes to my geckos.

Yeah, in the last picture you can see where they haven't been cleaning the tank. Horrible.
