Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A local pet store I thought was good for reptiles just made me think twice.

They got a crested gecko in and despite being told by my cousin (the manager) that they don't need any additional heat, the store owner "knew better" and insisted a UTH be put under the cage. Needless to say, the gecko was dead a few days later.

I even considered buying it. Too bad I didn't. It might not have suffered.
