Who has taken over my collection you ask?

Well... After 10 seasons, making the decision to move on from geckos has not been easy, and choosing what happened with my collection, even less so. I knew that no matter what I chose to do, there would be people unhappy.

While I faded away into obscurity the last few years as I mostly stopped engaging in the algorithmic popularity contest(s), ceasing most use of social media, I never stopped doing the diligent and ethical work with my animals, albeit on a smaller scale. My hope is that you are able to see some of this work continuing to come further into fruition over the next few years under the care of the new breeder.

After many late nights staring at the ceiling, I chose someone that moves in a way that I respect in the hobby. He has a focus on ethics, innovation, and his work is the result of artistic vision. Much the same way I view(ed) my own work. It was following a conversation in which he asked me, "What will come of all the work you have done over the last 10 years if you bit & piece your collection out?" that I knew he was the one I wanted to continue working with my animals.

Brett over at B&M Gecko now has the entire Impeccable Gecko collection. Besides being someone that I admire within the hobby, he is a genuine human, and fantastic family man that I respect outside of the hobby as well. I am excited to see what he chooses to do integrating the diversity and high-end quality of his collection with my decade of work. I look forward to seeing him utilize his own creativity to realize his own vision(s) moving forward!

All that said, I'll still be around, just without the geckos. I am truly grateful for the many thousands of you that made this all so worth it! I love seeing what the animals I produced have gone on to do, so feel free to send me gecko pics, or drop me a message to talk nerdy to me (genetics)!

PS... I chose not to add any gecko pics in this "signing off" post since I could never pick just a few, or the "best." Pictured is the spot that I stood all day almost every Sunday for the last 10 years cleaning gecko tubs. I wore through 2 layers of epoxy to the concrete.
