I saw that someone on craigslist had posted that they were giving away leos! So I went and got them. The smallest one had its tail bitten off by the largest one WHICH I JUST WEIGHED AND IS 77 GRAMS! Is he borderline giant? I will post pics once I get theyre cage ready!

This is the big male 77 grams oh my. Hes missing a couple toe tips

This female is really really dark and it has pure black eyes. Is this normal? I mean I know that it is a normal type leo, but arent they usually a little more colorful? Also as you can see the tip of her tail is gone and some of her toes . Also she may very well be gravid, I am worried for her condition.

Alright.. worst off. This little female was housed with the other 2, got her tail bit off (for obvious size related reasons) THIS IS WHY YOU DONT PUT BABIES WITH MOM AND DAD! Also missing toes. Also her legs bend funny when she walks.. But I fed her right when she got home, and ate a mealworm right off the get go, so theres the upside!

My plan is to nurture them to health and then find a permanent home for them.
