Hi

Calcium without D3 in it should be dusted on all the food at every feeding and calcium with D3 maybe two to three times a week.

Aside from doing that, you should keep a cap of straight calcium in there tanks with them 24/7, and they will lick it when they need extra calcium aside from dusting there food.

Brandon,

You should put take a small tray, about the size of the water dish and put calcium in that. That way they get as much calcium as they want. As they walk by it, they will lick it.

That is the best way to do it,

Matt

This is starting to get very old!

MattP Apr 26, 2004 10:15 PM

You shouldn't lie. I know for a fact that you are him. Remember you said to talk to Dave at the Washington Pet shop. I talked to him. He told me that he knows Brandon. He also said he knows "Doug", who you claim to be. He said "Doug" does not have any leopard geckos. But "Brandon" does, this is a major coincidence that you and "Epreptile89" (who you really are) shop at the same local pet shop.

It's terrible to lie to people. You should have come back on here and just told the truth instead of lying. If you wanted to come back we would have let you. You just have to say and post nice things.

So stop lying, and just admit who you are.

i cant come back, dave is a great guy! He has sold me every last of my leos. Did you end up buying a leo from him , or did you just talk to him ? well sorrys for wat i did but see noone will probably help me now...... I doubt anyone helps me i have learned to listen instead of just say my way or no way! i have changed the way I do post.

P.S. Matt how old are you and tell me about what dave was saying... lol he was probably laughing.

Tell me wat he said lol

TLC

MattP Apr 26, 2004 10:38 PM

I'm glad you told the truth. I respect you a lot more. I emailed Dave about what kind of leopard geckos he sold. Then I asked him if he knew a "Brandon" or a "Doug" and if either of them has leopard geckos. Then he told me that you have leopard geckos and doug doesn't.

No big deal. It was just bugging me that I didn't know if you were really him or not.

No one hates you, you just can't say bad things or post the same topic over and over.

The way you are acting as "TLC" is great. Just keep that up.

Well matt is right i am brandon. I am not doug that is my dad. He is my cricket supplyer lol! I am sorry to the ppl i had made very mad over that sand issue. I have my leos on sand but they do not eat on it. I have a 10 gallon that i set them out of and they eat into that. I am probably starting another big fight. I am sorry if i do. I wish all of you guys i made mad would and do exept my appoligize and help me out again. And one other thing, i have only been epreptile89 and TLC i havent been anyone else. I know it may be hard to trust me now but that is the 100% truth.

Sorry again!
TLC

I forgive you, as long as you just keep typing right. And cut out the "srys". Thats the most annoying part. Not the shortcuts, its when its not only a shortcut, but the grammar is all wrong also.

tokay_dude1 Apr 26, 2004 11:47 PM

haha, looks like i was right! go me!
brandon, ihave lost all respect for you dude, that was super pathetic for you to do this for a 3rd time...::shakes head::

tokay_dude1 Apr 27, 2004 12:18 AM

stayed on one account and just faced his problems, that was any matur human being would do...but i just cant see how i could be "nice" to him...eventually he'll get a new account and say his name is john LOL, sorry..but..yeah..i hade about 2 1/2 % respect for you when you were on EP..but now ya blew it dude...i'd help you out with leo probbs, but that doesnt make me your friend

StinaUIUC Apr 27, 2004 12:57 AM

including you, who is not being mature now... Everyone started completely ignoring him except me and couple of other people. He changed his username to start fresh...I can definitely understand it.

tokay_dude1 Apr 27, 2004 01:18 AM

lol are you going to start a dispute with me because i dont feel like being this kids friend?...is that mature?..peaople like this piss me off, i can see why he changed his username, didnt have change his entire identity, what he was posting and giving advice to on EPreptile was completely wrong...laughing at serious situation such as a prolapsed hemipene, that is by no means funny in any way, if he posts the was he has been posting as "TLC" I wont have any problem, but if he starts posting all that BS again im sure alot of people would be pissed...i mean..theres no one here anymore because of his BS posts...kelli left..robin left..marcias barely here anymore...personally i think we all should grow up and start acting a little more mature...i hate the fighting, i hate the BS meaningless arguements that flood the entire forum...there isnt anything much to look forward to here anymore...its usually the same people fighting about the same things over and over

Christina, i dont want to argue with you, i know he's your friend but i ask that you respect my opinion and just leave it at that, its only my opinion, if i dont want to be his friend, then thats settled, i am not his friend, i dont "hate" him, but i really dont see myself being all buddy buddy with him, like i said, if he has a problem and needs help, i'd gladly help him, and im sure you would too, just because people dont like him, isnt going to make me feel sorry for him...sorry...but thats my honest opinion, i'll appologize to him for the agruements and the uncalled for name calling...if there ever was any...i did help him with stuff while he was EP ...but after he was cracking up at the leo with the prolapse and making fun of it, i just couldnt ever see myself being friends with him

StinaUIUC Apr 27, 2004 01:26 AM

I don't know him...I was just helping him out before...I've never im'ed or e-mailed him. I just thought you were being mean and immature saying you had zero respect and you would never be his friend....I think I kind of overreacted there...sorry about that...lol

I agree. Everyone seems to think he's just being picked on and ganged up on. Everything was brought on himself and he deserved it all in my opinion. In fact, had he not got griped out and ignored, he'd still be BS'ing today.
