Is there such thing as jumbo, or is that just what the petshops call the adults so they can charge more? n/p

Hey,
Depends, I think that they refer to giants as jumbo. Otherwise its just a sale pitch
HTH,

I know the "jumbos" at Petsmart are just adult leopards, where are you looking?

And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand

He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

If its Petsmart then its definitely just large. They don't carry the giant strains (I worked for them for years).

My hisband works at a Petco part time as the reptile specialist. We have 7 of our own leos in addition to others...but yes, it is a sales tactic. I don't know about other stores, but the babies that this store gets in are about the size of a Q-tip on a good day. To say the adults are Jumbo or Giant - compared to the babies, anything would be Jumbo or Giant including the crickets - is nothing but hype to sell them for $90.
