yea i was abit worried wen i read the title which involved the word 'thingy' replacing gecko, think a bit of research is in order before u buy he animal. dont buy the animal and then ask wat to do with it!
Really glad someone else had a go. I wanted to earlier but felt a bit guilty. Don't kno why though. It so needs to be said!!! This is why we have so many reptiles and other animals in rescue centres because people don't research properly before buying animals!
If you can't be arsed to read up, don't bother buying as you'll probably end up not being arsed to care for the animal properly. :x
11 out of 10 for the smiley purejurassic :lol:

Just one more point...would you buy a car if you couldn't drive? I would hope not. So don't buy an animal without knowing as much as is possible about it. Sorry to be harsh, but I'm breeding my geckos next year and I will only sell babies to people who can prove they know what they are doing. Someone should devise some sort of questionnaire that prospective buyers have to fill in. If they don't provide the appropriate answers, no sale :wink:

To be honest, asking the first question, I could just about handle, even if it was worded somewhat strangely.
It was the comment regarding 'black' ppl that made me mad.
As a breeder of leos, I try to work out why someone whants one, then what they know about it in order to match different leos.
I talked someone out of buying one of mine the other day because i did not think it was what he was looking for.
In this case, i think i have just the right one. in a PHOTO they can stick on the wall.
leos are not thingys you can put down when your bored with them. Please, google the subject, there is a ton of stuff out there about leos. Then come back and ask questions on the stuff you dont understand.
Happy to help with 'proper' questions.

Not trying to stick up for anyone but Joemot has'nt got the gecko yet he IS asking before he buys And the comment about black people was exactly what my kids have just come in saying after a racial awareness meeting at school. People are exactly the same on the inside and the colour on the outside should'nt make any difference.If Joemot is only a kid then he would see nothing wrong in what he said. If we complain about people who ask before they buy and we complain about people who buy first then ask.who exactly do we not complain about?

People should research using internet and books first, then use forums as a last resort for as purejurassic put it, 'proper questions'!!
Most of the people on here are knowledgeable about the reptiles they keep and while I agree it's good that he is asking quetsions before he buys, he seems rather arrogant to the fact that a reptile is a living breathing creature that will be quite demanding of him and is definitely not a bloody 'THINGY'!!

Don't get me wrong i completely agree on the "THINGY" point and that there other things to do for research before a forum but i have a feeling that Joemot is only a child. I think we should have a kids board on this site so when we answer them we know they are kids and don't give them quite as much grief as other people. :lol: :lol:

I have all the time in the world for those asking questions
BUT
Joemot has pm'd me asking questions, and got answers, he has also asked the same questions on open forum, and got answers, but asked again.
His use of words, well what can i say, his recent post said he is going to but the heatmay on the back behind the sticky thingy !!
I mean, how can we help when questions like that are posted.
He said he 'is' going to get a blizzard gecko, but hasnt even relised that a blizzard is a leopard gecko, otherwise would not be asking that.
There is a wealth of info out there, simply waiting to be asked. Answering the same old questions is boring, but to those who ask, its the first time they ask, so normally always get a good reply,
In joes case, he comes across as wanting us to do all his research for him, so he can say he knows about them.
Sorry if this seems unfair, but I always try to help those who help themselves, those that dont, well, say no more !!

yes but very blatant and not really amusing.
"oh like the various races we have in people, ie white, black, asian etc ar we like morphs?"
would have been a slightly better way of asking the question, the comment was quite child like and rather pointless as it wasnt phrased as a question either.
Anyway, im happy to continue replying to his questions for now but I do hope he either wises up or doesnt get a pet of any kind in the end.
