RE: [gecko]Chit Chat
That makes sense Leann. Anyway, as I said before I need time to have enough materials ready for 6.2 ,and I have nothing yet for CC #24. I strongly suggest both publications are sent together to members to avoid extra shipping costs. I also suggest we use 2 printers, mine in Caen, and whoever you find appropriate in the US. Last but not least, I suggest we use the time I need to gather materials for both publications to raise enough funds to be able to afford printing them both and shipping them to members. Agreed?

Re: [gecko]Chit Chat 17 - First GGA publication for the membership year
That's exactly why I join twice each year - that way I have one copy of each issue to read and one to keep really really nice. By the way, what happened to the listserv (why was it down)?

At one point we thought of selling packets of each year complete, but we just didnt have enough issues. Even Gekko 1.2 was printed in such low numbers that it is no longer available. If we had higher member numbers we would be able to print larger quantities and perhaps even reissue those out of print. What issues were you looking specifically for?

Re: [gecko]Chit Chat
Happy Holidays from Colorado, Julie!!! I also enjoyed John's articles in the new Chit Chat. Sorry to hear about Bob! That P. standingi with the one milky eye I sold you this past year when I was reducing my collection is not quite as old as Bob (I think), but in the same range! I got him as a scarred adult, complete with the milky eye, in '96. He and the mate you got with him have also parented many babies, and were still active when you got them! Of course, maybe Cyndi has them now? Anyway... the klemmeri, Rhacs and mini beardeds all survived the move and are getting their winter cool period now. Will be interesting to see how they breed in the spring. Anyway... Happy Holidays to all you gexers out there!!! Doug Johnston -- Julie Bergman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Holiday Greetings Gexers! I was looking at our latest Chit Chat I received this week over breakfast this am and was pleased to see my article in Reptiles, Dazzling Day Geckos, had been given a nice review by John Rudge. I also enjoyed the articles in there that covered a lot of subjects most gexers are interested in. The features on R. ciliatus, Pygopods and predators of Ptenopus stuck out for me! Speaking of Pygopods(lizards without legs, thought to be geckos), I have had a long term Pygopod since about '94. R. Lee Grismer identified him as of the genus Delma, I forget the species. He is about six inches long, striped, dull green as a base color, and has a blunt nose. I will post a photo of him sometime. I got this guy as a gift from Loren at LLL Reptile when he was first starting out. I thanked Loren for him just a couple months ago and told him the lizard was doing well! When Loren first offered him to me, I knew Pygopods were mostly lizard eaters, so I asked about that and Loren assured me this guy was a cricket eater. Indeed, he does like crickets! At the Pomona IRBA show this month someone was selling some really healthy looking Lialis burtonis. Some folks came by my booth with one and I was absolutely floored about how healthy they looked. The seller said they were eating mice! H! Maybe they would consider eating things besides lizards, depending on their genus and species. On a sad note, my beloved P.m. grandis Big Daddy Sgt. Bob Marley passed yesterday of old age. I obtained him in '93 as a stunning wild caught adult with great red markings. Some of you may remember Rasta (my first Day Gecko, a WC female P.m. grandis) decided to beat him up, twice! Then they got a divorce! ;) He was paired with Rasta (passed last year) for about four years, and they produced many, many, many offspring! I paired him with two other females and I have a number of babies from him now I decided to hold back to keep his bloodline going. I have one of his first babies, a December '93 male, Bob Jr., who is doing fine. :) As a gecko breeder I am reminded of the cycle of life and death, and it makes me appreciate my healthy guys that much more and the great years I had with gex like Bob.
