i will try to as brief as possible,and i will post pics as soon as i have them...
name's rob,26,have been keeping any kind of reptile i could since i was 11.
i have kept it all,monkey tailed skinks,retics,water monitors,blood pythons,amethystines,crested geckos.any rat,pine,bull snake you can come up with..so i consider my-self to be an "experienced" reptile botherer.
i work at a large nationwide petchain that i will not name....
this is just a part time gig over the winter months,and worked there like 5 years ago,and found for the most part the animals were taken very seriously and most of the staff was descently educated and knowledgable in their dept.i of course was the "reptile guy".so i went back for some extra cash...now i have hundreds if not thousands of leapord geckos over the years...here is were you will all be interested.
i was working today and at about 2 i started doing one of my many mistings and such(i mean if you have all those reptiles in front of you wouldn't you spend alot of time there?).i noticed i had a few less baby leopards than i did 2 days(my last shift)ago.so i looked around and underneath the units i found a total of 4 babies...set them up in a tank in the back...a little later i decided to check under the units again...just to be sure,besideds we have plenty of loose house geckos...so why not?
what i saw next is the point of this rant...i saw the BIGGEST leopard gecko(remember i said i will def. post pics)i have ever seen,i swear on all reptiels this gecko is gigantic!and you no what,this thing must have actually grown up loose in the store because it is WILD.i got my wounds tonight,never realised they packed a punch like that(refer to the list above,i've been bit by just about them all)!so i am adopting it.when you walk by the tank it hisses and buzzes and actually jumps at you!.
pics comeing....

Was it wrong to laugh at this? If so I apologize but there is something about an attack leo that is hilarious to me. BEWARE THE ATTACK GECKO!!!! All tremble in it's presence!

Can't wait for the pics

He's probablly been living off baby geckos and those house geckos.

Must post pick of this big bad boy.

Attach Gecko...Hahaha. I have two of those, Beware of Attach Gecko sign in front of thier tubs. I'm in trouble when they are full grown. One is only 24 grams and she tries to attach the cat and dog when they walk by.

When you post a picture of it will you please include a picture of the gecko next to a ruler? Thanks.

pics coming!ok so i brought the little bugger home tonight...as well as received a nasty WC green conda,which was supposed to be CBB,bummed.ok so back to SATAN.yes in the next few days,i will put the pics up and as far as comparisons,i think a ruler is quite a bit easier then keep the leviathan,and a house gecko together..that could be a mess...gimme a few days...i work late alot...
