  • This video took place over the month of February where I show the full process of taking in, unboxing, caring for, listing, selling and shipping reptiles that need new homes. For those of you that don't know, I'm currently renting and have to limit how many animals I have. It's given a good opportunity to focus on just the species I want to work with, and trying to only take in the healthiest and highest demand animals. This way, I still increase revenue while helping keepers out!

    You can really tell these geckos had the best owner. Not only were they in perfect healthy conditions, but once the owner realized they could no longer keep their precious geckos in the health standard they wanted to achieve, they made the tough decision to ship them off to make sure they had a person who could do that for them. Mad respect for this person, we need more people like them in the hobby

      Go to Walmart's Tupperware section, buy whatever size you need of the cheapest black ones. Cut a hole, use a lighter to smooth the edge completely.
      A few might just break on you when you cut them because these are cheap as hell but when you've got a bunch ready they work great and cost next to nothing.
