I ordered a gecko from him about 3 weeks ago. It still hasn't been shipped. This is my first time buying an animal online so my question is is this common that I paid for this gecko about 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. I've tried to e-mail him and havn't gotten a response. The last e-mail I got from him was stating my gecko would be shipped tues or wed. That was last week. I can understand the first delay because that's when we had all that snow.

Anthony is in Kansas City, MO. Weather hasn't been great there due to snow. His temps may be too cold to ship.
I do alot of business with Crested Gecko, located in Wisconson. I may order in the fall, but never recieve my shipment until weather breaks close to spring.
I'd email and ask if this is the issue.

That typically isn't normal especially with live shipments. The fact that they haven't called you or responded back to you in any way is not a good sign. I haven't found too much on them on google just a couple things on fauna here and there about issues with customers. If anything call them back see what happens and if nothing happens dispute the charge with your credit card company or paypal (whoever you used). Hope everything works out

Well I just heard from Anthony. His internet was down for 10 days that's why my gecko hasn't been shipped. He's going to be shipping on Monday for Tuesday arrival. He's even throwing in another gecok for no cost.  I'll have to get another viv ready. So hopefully I'll have my new friends on Tuesday. |

Corrine.. are they both the same sex ? Females ? if they are, they can be housed together.
Even as quarantined, as they came from the same source.

They will both be females but I only have a 10 gallon at the moment... not big enough for 2 So I'll keep them both in thier own 10 gallon until I can find a larger tank

If they are babies.. for a short period, they can be... If you get a 20 long, you can house up to 3 for life.

Nope.. a male would attempt to breed the females waaaaaaaaay too soon... keep the ladies in their own boudiour and the gent in his bach apartment.. or better yet.. switch the male to the 10, and house the ladies in the larger tank.

i would but Chester was very unhappy in the ten gallon when we put him in there when I broke his 20 long. He threw a fit. As adults can they all be housed together?

The breeding would still happen.. You ready to incubate or toss 4 eggs every month ?
Not to mention.. an adult male most likely will want to breed all the time.. not good for either party, female or male, due to the harassment stresses of breeding.
Hope this helps out..

Future breeding is fine.. you'll want all three to be nice and fat with really fat tails. also, can't hurt to have all three screened for parasites before breeding is initiated. Once you get to that point.. I'll be happy to suggest how to make that happen..  Janie |
