poorly hybino.

simmo Nov 02, 2003 09:50 AM

this was the only hybino i had.
i got her from a breeder.
she would not eat i tryed giving her babyfood(turkey) every 4 hours but 3 days later she passed away i told the breeder this but i have heard nothing from him.i did take her to the vet several times but it was too late she was too infested with parasites.
luckly i kept her in a seprate room from my other leos.
so please please quarantine any new stock.
here is the only pic i have.

Thank you for reminding everone of he importance of quarantine. It is tragic to lose one animal, but to lose previously healthy animals because of carelessness is devastaing...and unneccessary.

She looks like she was a regular albino, not a hybino btw.

Hi

If this breeder is respectable at all, he will get back to you and try to make things right. Send him another e-mail and remind him that his reputation means everything when it comes to selling geckos.

not been in touch.

Hi Simmo

That is very sad that he will not respond to you. Just incase he is at a gecko show or something, give him a little more time to respond to you.

If he doesn't respond to you then he has to know that you will warn others not to buy from him. If that were me, I wouldn't wanna reunion my good name as I know that you wouldn't either.

I hope he contacts you.

Take Care, TLB

If you do decide to warn others about him, you will have to go on that other site
