New Babies! From Petco... who woulda thought

milwaukeereptile Jul 05, 2004 11:15 PM

Ok guys... I know a few weeks ago that I complained about a post that someone made where they got Leos at petco for $25 and they looked great... I said my stores never have animals like that. Well I think I figured out their shipping days and I found these guys this afternoon... $19.99 each with the petco pals card. All three will be getting fecals done early next week, and I'll let you know what happens.

This is the first one (sorry it's kinda dark, 8 grams):

And another pic of the same one... I just love how dark orange it is!:

This is the second one (9 grams), he/she actually looks brighter but the camera kind of washed the color out:

And my favorite, the largest one (11 grams):

They are pretty lil geckos but make sure they get a humid hide or you mist them of something because it looks like with all the stress form shipping they didn't have a good shed this last time. Nice buy though! They're cute, especially the big one!

Yup... they all got sprayed like it was raining and have moist paper-towel in deli dup hides. I figure after a shed or two they'll be fine. I'll just have to keep them extra moist for the next few weeks. Thanks.

I bought this little guy/gal also from Petco. I think they recieve their shipments on Tuesdays. I saw this little one and could not pass it up. It's alot more orange than the picture shows but I could not get a good shot the camera kept washing out the color. What do you all think?

They look great, Brian. Congrats on the new purchases, and I'm glad you're getting fecals done for all of them. Nice to know the Petco Pals card can come in handy. You know Petsmart just started having a Petsmart Perks card? More to carry in my wallet. But the only coupons they ever give me are for fish supplies, since I buy aquariums there.

Yeah I would get one if I had a Petsmart around here, not a single one anywhere near the south side of Milwaukee. We're pretty populated with pet stores over here though, but only a few are remotely decent for reptiles.
