We also purchased a large group at Petco for 19.95 each. We snagged albinos, patternless, and this girl. Unlike most Petco's our local Petco buys from a local breeder that sells high quality animals. Our local Petco takes great care of them and we have had no problems with the eight we have purchased.

Petco does get some crazy Leos in for good prices. Granted I do not purchase from there as I work in a store that is in direct competion, but thems the breaks.

I just purchased a massive Leusistic female from a chain Pet store, the same one I work for for $70. she is really a very pretty Leo, and I'll get some pics up of her soon

How massive did your leucistic come in?? Is she from Sandfire?? The last set we got were tiny Juvies . . . I got in some good size Blizzards from them tho . . .

When I first got into leos, I bought two from Petco before buying from breeders.. Then later, about a year later, I went to Petco to get some supplies and found a SHT, lol. I'll show you what they look like..

First Gecko, Ron(Female.. Gender confusion, lol):

Second Gecko, Raine(Male):

Fourth Gecko, Tango(Female):

They're all sweethearts and Tango has no spots on her back now, nearly a baldy now too.. I would take some updated photos, but my main computer that supports my cam is down because we need a new motherboard. Once the PC is up and running I'm sure I'll go crazy with new pics. :P

I will say that that's the only think htat stinks at my place . . . the most UNUSUAL Leo I've seen was a "Lucky 7" Leo with a 7 on his head . . someone on another forum told us that he was worth a lot of money because the 7 was genetic. Sold him for $35. The only SPECIAL things (Morphs) we see are Albinos, Blizzards, and Leucistics . . . and I have to order them to get them. And they cost more than the normal Juvies. Although we have a couple of Juvies who look like they may be high yellows . . . Possibly . . .

She actually came in small, and is a rather good example that some pet stores really do care...that meaning that she is nearly 10 months old and very healthy. I need to get some pics up of her soon, but truth be told, I do not work at the store where I purchased her, so where she came from...I am not entirely certain.

As for the Leusistics in my store, the first two we recieved were larger. Far larger then the typical baby leo that comes in, but the following pair came in tiny.
