wax?

[beanersmysav]

The guy I'm buying my cresteds from mentioned something about putting a fresh coat of wax on them? Excuse me if I should know something about this but I can't find anything on it, why should you wax crested geckos? Any information appreciated

[Shad0w]

Huh??? was he kidding?

[DragnDrop]

He's telling you to wax your gecko?????
That even beats the useless advice the proverbial rotten pet stores give.

I'd find another breeder.

[CDN-Cresties]

I have never heard of doing that before....

[beanersmysav]

lol maybe he didnt mean the geckos he said ill need your address and phone number so i can get the information ready and ill put a coat of wax on em'. I just didnt know what he meant by that. Or possibly i misread it I have no idea but i didnt think you waxed a gecko

Don't read too much into it, LOL. Sounds like he's just being humourous! You know, like a new car, he'll get them all shined up for you when you pick them up...

LOL@Ryan

That's exactly what I thought he meant by it! I doubt a crested, or any sort of gecko would sit still long enough for an actual waxing! lol

That's right up there with using nail polish to mark your hatchlings...

[clint545]

you should show up at his place with some Turtle Wax and tell him it was the only herp related wax you could find! LOL

Or putting mustard on your snakes feces to check for parasites..(do a search)..

haha alright now I feel dumb. I'm sure thats what he meant as well. As I've read alot of people have bought from him i don't know if I'm allowed to put an adress but gecko-madness.com he seems like a real nice guy and his geckos look great and I'm getting a pretty decent deal on them as well has anyone else ever delt with him?

[HeatherRose]

I'm sure he was joking :p

Your signature is too long, by the way....4 lines max :D

Thanks,

Yeah he was it just threw me I had just woke up felt like crap today and read that a mix of cold medicine and plain stupidity kinda' got me worried lol I'll make the signiture smaller in one second

Hey, I have never hear of waxing cresteds before, I would say it wasn't meant literally, But I have heard of people waxing snakes before (I would assume with some sort of bees wax) apparently it helps with shedding keeps the snakes skin moist? I can't remember where I heard it, but someone before has definitely told me that they wax their snakes when they enter a shed cycle. I have never tried it myself, has anyone else heard of it?
