do the babbies look nice and what was the price were they to exsendsive. post pictures of your babbies so people can see what they look like but if you like them it may have been a good decision.only you can deside that.what may be ugly to me may be beautiful to others.

No I haven't gotten them yet, they'll arrive this friday. They should look great I'm assuming, I was just trying to decide if i should have ordered from a larger company like LLL Reptile or something, I feel good now though

i have heard some ok things about them but me personally i would rather buy them directly from the breeder.... but thats just me............ many of the leos you see are usually bought in lots from one of about three or four suppliers (who breeds them)..... and it just so happens that SOME of these companies than breed them also sell to petco and petsmart as well as others whom buy them in bulk................... i do not know of this is the case for extreme but if it is... basically you are buying SOME of the same geckos that people get at those pet stores..
alot of the animals are kept several in a small place (because they move fast) surrounded by litterally hundreds if not thousans of other animals (snakes, beardies ect.), including many WC specimens like i said i do not know if this is the case with extreme all i have ever heard was positive info about them.
i prefer not to buy from a broker, i would rather buy from a breeder because i know exactly how my animals has been brought upo and raised and what it has been into contact with (however i only buy friom a handful of breeders because i only trust a handful)

i do not know if this is how they do it or not BUT MANY online advertisers to do..... its generally a give away when they say they offer large quantity lots like 35 (for more reduced prices).................

i dont know thing for me is knowning where my animal came from and knowing where it has been and how it has been raised up.................
just my opinions though

Well I'm not really sure about too much of that, but they seem like they know what they're doing, and I've heard a lot of positive things about the people who work there and how accomodating they are. I know that they don't sell in "bundles" of 35 or 50 or whatever, and I figure that if they are babies, they should have sort of a "clean slate" as to how they've been brought up. I would probably hesitate to buy an adult from someone who isn't a leo breeder. Then again, I bought the 3 leos i have now from a petsmart, and they are wonderful and beautiful, very healthy. I bought them as babies, though.

I saw pictures of their blizzard babies on the kingsnake.com classifieds and they looked really nice and white and healthy. I ordered a blizzard baby and an albino
