Why in pairs?

[Ipsl]

So I've been toying with the idea of expanding geneses but for non breeding purposes (for now) But I noticed most people sell them in pairs. Why is that?

Cause nobody wants to be left stuck with a bunch of males they can't move.

HaHa. What Maurice said.

Usually males are harder to move, so towards the middle and end of the season, you find more gecko groups in pairs or deals. Such as buy a male and get a female free half price or females must be purchased with male, or whatever...

But what id I just want a male?

If you want a male, I'd imagine that "normally" they'd sell you the male by itself. But people generally don't sell you just a female for the reason I stated above.

Well I can see and understand why. But than I dont want baby leafs and it seems that that what would allways happen. But than I dont know how prolific they are

Check around at reptile expos. They usually sale individually, also look around in the beginning of the season.

Also, that if you sell on just a single animal, there is no way that other people can start breeding programmes with that species as well.
