I currently have 3 adult leopard geckos (1:2) and would like to add another 2 females to the group.
Colour, markings, tail shape, deformities not important. I am not bothered whether they are proven breeders, though they will be with a male and if they produce eggs I may hatch them.
I'd prefer to rehome an unwanted pet but am open to offers. Please PM me.
Thank you

I've been surfing the internet and its really frustrating - if you want to rehome an unwanted cat or dog then thats a good thing, better than buying 'new' but (on certain sites) if you offer to rehome a lizard you're a freeloader!
They wouldn't say that if they saw some of the poor blighters I've had in my collection.
I used to enjoy trawling Ark but that seems really quiet lately..

Got a few sites for you, sorry if you know about em already. I have no experience with any of them but I used to browse them a lot.

I reckon you're more likely to find reptiles needing homes from people that arn't regular internet users. Regular users of reptiles forums will have seen they can earn some money by selling their unwanted pets.
You could try giving your details to shelters, especially ones that don't usually take reptiles so they can pass people along to you, or maybe reptile shops, I imagine they sometimes get contacted by desperate owners. I've never tried doing that myself but it's something I might consider after I move and if I have room/money for new additions.

Thanks, Proteus had 2 but didn't state gender and I'd have to travel. I don't drive and my OH couldn't take me at the moment.
I have found previously that a lot of rehoming centres will only let you take an animal if you can guaruntee they won't be bred (i.e. kept single sex). I can't give that guaruntee as the whole point is to find company for my male.
As it happens, having moved them to their shiny 'new' tank, one of my girls have given me 2 fatastic eggs. So I may wait a while and trade a couple of babies for unrelated girls instead.

I'd forgotten about that rule, I was considering taking some tokay's from them a couple of years ago and that's what stopped me incase I might have been able to breed them one day. Good luck with the eggs though!

Thanks for the spot, as it happens I am looking for 'normals' and don't want to spend that much.
pavlo1969, I have PMed you. I am only looking for animals. I am sure there are people who would buy the equipment from you.
