That's horrible about your friend, but I'm glad (as I'm sure he is) he's alive. Is he home now? Give him my best and tell him thank you from all of us. We can never thank our soldiers enough for what they've done or what they will do in the future. I wish I was in a position to have helped over there, but I'm sure my time will come.



You need to be careful w/that hip. You only get one of them and it's a pretty important part of you in the whole scheme of things. How much longer til you're back at 100% again?



As far as the geckos go, I've never taken actions to cool them before. Much like Marcia, I've only ever let the change in natural daylight cycles and any ambient air temp changes do what it naturally does. I have done both, separated the pairs and kept them year-round, and I couldn't tell you that I noticed any difference either way. I am a firm believer that you don't have to cool to have a successful breeding season. I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise going into my sixth year of breeding.



My Albey Tangerine was in with a female I had listed for sale and I hadn't considered that they may start breeding and to separate them and darn it if they didn't find a great way to rind in the new year! I now have a probable gravid female that I've got to decide what to do with; sell her probably gravid, or wait her season out so I can sell a 'breedable' girl. We'll see. They have been together for a year and I did nothing to signal them to start - no Barry White or candles or anything.



Take care of yourself
