The only time I'm really picky about gender-specific names is when there's significant sexual dimorphism. I sure get enough people asking whether I plan on breeding Zelda and Link though! Not only are they both female, but they're also not even from the same genus!

Hmm, good point, XD I doubt they care, even mammals don't seem to care when named wrong gender names. Humans are the only ones that seem to care. (Plus you wouldn't believe how many people think link is named Zelda lol) I don't even care what gender I get anyway so I'll probably get an unsexed if they are what I want.

In gargs, most are female, so males are rarer and usually more expensive. It's the opposet in cresties.

Shhh don't say that! I'm trying to convince my new unsexed baby that he's a boy. He must be. He has to be. I even listed him as male in my sig. Couldn't afford an adult male so I'm stuck just telling him that he's a boy and hoping that will make it true

Hey, it could happen! I had one that I got for like 40$ as unsexed and turned out to be a boy XD

Needed to down size though and wnded up selling him for 120$. He was a pretty nice orange blotch. =)

Lol, that's one thing I didn't know, but I don't really care about the gender anyway, especially since the dispositions (or size) don't differ between genders with the gargoyles.

Btw, about how much would an unsexed striped garg be by what you have seen? Maybe the red/orange stripe or the plain black stripe? (I think I want one that is almost completely black when fired up and almost completely white when fired down but that is probably unlikely. )

Price differs on breeder honeatly. Could get a B/W striped for about 80$

Mine was a stral since I snatched it up for a local breeder going out of business.

Hmm, doesn't really sound like very much (well my parents have payed about $350 dollars for a great Dane puppy lol) My parents are paying for $50 of the garg and I have $200 to pay for the supplies and I can supplement with it

So awesome your parents are helping! Mine never did lol. Not even for my furry anomals XD

I finally got my mom to touch a 2month old active BP yay!

Btw, exited for repticon! I hope they have what I want and I don't have to order online.

Does anybody have experience in Baton Rouge with the repticon there or even breeders of any reptile there?
