In my experience, the presence or not-present calcium sacs are not a
reliable indicator of sex. A male, incorrectly supplemented, can develop
calcium sacs and a female, not breeding can lack calcium sacs. One simply

A laceration to the calcium sac will heal. Take the same precautions as you
would with any deep cut: keep it clean, remove her from the male (as you
said you are going to do), and if it is a seriously large wound consider
taking it to a veterinarian for care as he/she would have methods

This is just a test. The GGA Board List is not yet functional. Archives
still need to be set up.
However, if you would just respond with a hello or another friendly word,
we'll be sure we are hearing from all the right people.

This list is a private message list that automatically delivers to everyone
on the list (board members).
This was how the board used to communicate. The GGA had two lists: The
Gecko List and the Board List. The Board list was donated. The GGA would

Endless paragraphs with no breaks are difficult to read.
A forum = place to share ideas, chat, discuss
A website = central location on the web for information about a

Just like Repashy Super Food there are two parts. One is Repashy's website.
The second part is the forum. They link.
Hey, all.
While doing a cost analysis for possible new membership rates, I was looking
at past postage for Gekko. Found a BIG MONEY HOLE!

Let me try to illustrate what I think is going on. This is either gonna make
it easier to understand or just confuse everyone.
