I understand people asking for deposits. everyone i have dealt with has eithe requested one or full payment. I'm not leaping to this guys defence because those pictures are not his. unless he has mutiplle names on this forum. I'd be furiouse if he had used my pictures!
But yes.. different collection points, other peoples geckos and odd descritions.. I'd steer clear.

Looks to me as though the Gecko named Cindy on the breeding page: gecko breeding |

is exactly the same gecko as the one named Ember on the available page:
gecko breeding |

I'm new to this site btw and it looks great =)

Can't wait to get more involved.

another little snippet from the 'Delivery 'page which seems suspect

quote.
Delivery can be arrange on any of the geckos brought off me. The courier i use is Reptile taxi and i will arrange all this for you. I have never had a bad delivery off them. You are also welcome to arrange delivery with another pet courier as long as i am happy to despatch my leo's with them.
Next day delivery usually costs £25 up to 100 miles anything over costs £32 but is still garenteed next day.
Feel free to try reptile taxi yourself if you think you can get a cheaper quote!


I thought reptile taxi where same day delivery only? correct me if im wrong please ...

he must be on about TNT with those prices surely? and unless he has a business account he couldnt do that either. It'd be interesting to see if Ditta has actually ever heard of him, as it seems more and more of the stuff he's written is grade a cow manure!

I still think that it is kinda dodgy - as I'm guessing that if this website did turn out to be a total fraud, then the person behind it all would have received the deposits and kept them for himself, with no-one ever receiving any geckos.

Wouldn't blame others for asking for deposits like, or say that other places were dodgy for asking for them - everything about this one just seems very suspect!

yes his intention to get deposits is most likely dodgy, i think art geckos point was that purely asking for one is not what is dodgy however.
