Alright. First off, sorry, but I have no idea what WTB means o_o

I picked up a pair of leopard geckos back in October for a school project (with every intention of keeping them both, I assure you). The project subject was up to me, so i decided to try breeding them.

Everything went well for a while until my female stopped eating. We've taken her to the vet and given her the medication, but no result. The only thing I haven't tried yet is soaking, but with all this schoolwork and taking care of other healthy animals (plenty of them), there's just not enough time in a day.

Also, we were told she was a female, but upon further investigation, that may or may not be the case. It's hard to tell if she's a male with unusually small hemipenal bulges or a female with unusually prominent pubic pores.

So I'm looking for someone in New Jersey who is willing to trade a healthy, breeding female for her. I understand that this is not exactly a fair trade, but I suppose if you're looking for a project, now's your chance. I'd love to make the trade temporary, until she's back up to par, but I understand if that's not possible as well.

She's a high yellow strain, a little over a year old, and a bit small for her age.

This is her when we first brought her home:

This is her condition now (sorry for the bad quality):

With my hand, for size comparison:

And with her healthy male counterpart:

Respond ASAP, please! PM me for negotiations.

gl? What does that mean?

And I'd love to try to get her up to par myself, but the project is due in a few months. There's no way I could get her healthy AND breeding by then, and even if I still keep her, I have no room or money for ANOTHER set up and lizard.
 
gl=good luck man , ive had a few reptiles in the past refuse to feed and its tough depending on what species to get them started again . hopefully it will turn around and start to get better,

Ah. Thank you then.

EDIT
Okay. For some reason, I can't delete this post to go back and edit the other one. So. If anyone knows how, please tell me. If not, here's the message:

I'll sell her IF NECESSARY, but I don't have a price in mind just yet.
 
wait this makes no sense, u want to trade a gecko that doesnt eat for one that does? i mean i congratulate u on ur honesty, but really?,
how will a non eating female contribute to somones breeding project. you should offer it free to someone who might better be able to coax it to eat
 
Have you tried wax worms? I've had leopard geckos in the past that refused to eat, but none could resist wax worms.
