Jeez...those poor little guys...they could stand to have a little more headroom...I can't even see the airholes.

I've wondered the same thing. I saw that picture a while back on a breeder's webpage and I was like....uhhh that can't be good. I personally wouldn't buy from a breeder that treats their geckos like that, but maybe that's just me.

aww damn that doesn't look safe
aww poor leos!! i wanna save them!!!

But it does make me wonder about the breeder/supplier. That doesn't really seem like a flattering image. The image of a single deli cup does have a fat looking leo... but so many of them in the other image...

Giving them less room in the deli cup makes less room for the leo move around in when in transit. I would think that while unconfortable, it'll keep the leo from being knocked around and breaking bones.

3.2.2 leopard geckos (Rosie, Locke, Lisa, Caesar, Tommy)
and 1 more egg a' cookin'

Well if you have a leo shipped to you through UPS that is probably what it will come in. Same way if you go to a reptile show, they are usually kept in the deli cups. They are just for transportation purposes though, they don't actually live in there.

That's safe as far as shippibng/transportation goes, but not for living(And it looks to me like their being trasported somewhere). But, I can't see any air-holes at all.. that's just retarded.

1.1 Leos(Ron and Raine), 2.1 Kitty Cats(Bubba, Angelo and Cookie) and 1.1 Rouen Ducks(Buddy and M.J.).

If you look close there are air holes. I would think this is at a show or, are being moved, so don't be so critical people. The geckoes look good and healthy.
Thanks
