These geckos are undoubtedly the worst I've ever seen.Just by looking at the picture you can see that they are one their last legs.I have sent them a message urging them not to sell them,but put them out of the obvious misery they have had to endure......waiting for their reply.

That's just freaking sick.

I really can't write what I'm thinking right now. I might be banned.

Please send this seller few e mails and if you come to the conclusion that it's his/her own fault, send some nasty comments.

I'm speechless. I've never seen ANY animals in such bad shape.

That is terrible that's the worst looking leopards I've seen as well. Makes you wonder how much neglegience goes into getting those geckos into that condition. From my experience they are by far the easiest geckos to care for.

If you go onto Gumtree you can "report this ad". See top right hand corner.
Please can everyone do this. The advert will be banned. There are terms and conditions about posting livestock, and if this is not against them I don't know what is!

Damn! You can still sms her. lol.
But rather it's removed before she actually makes money off those poor creatures. I hope she rots in hell.
I'm sure she was flogged with hate mail.
