petco blue iguanas?

theboiyo187 Aug 31, 2011 04:47 PM

Hi i live in a small town where we barely get anything good, and was wondering if all petcos were the same and got from like the same vendors? If so thinking that if they do i could put in a request for a blue iguana on their next shipment do you think that would be an option? I have found a blue from calling around petcos its about a 5 hr drive from my actual town tho, maybe they could ship it from that petco to mines you think?

Wow. I didn't think any of the Petcos had any left. I think it is worth a try. Or you could make the trip -- it might be less stressful on the iggy.

ok so i think its really funny on this whole thing they really dont know anything about these animals. I just called around a few different ones and found a few selling them the one highest is a 150 an the lowest is 50. i will be trying to go get the one for 50 but if i do not make it i will be going to get the other one. the one petco manager told me he doesnt order them cause they are a lil pricey which brings a ?? to mind like really they must be cheap for these prices, at petco my repti fogger and powersun were both double at petco then online.

I'm surprised a petco has one for $50 since that is their normal price for a red or a blue diamond. Since a blue diamond won't keep it's color you might not want to drive a far distance without seeing at least a picture of the animal. I don't know if you saw my other posts but they should look like these:

yes i know what the blue iguanas look like myself an asked them he said he only has one blue and its 49.99 the others the priced varied it was 119 at a further petco, an another petco said 150. I think its just they get them cheap an dont know whats really going on in the herp world. but i will be taking the trip tomorrow. also i guess they can order them if they wanted since another petco manager had told me he doesnt order them cause they are a bit pricey. Also the girl who told me the price 49.99 might have thought that its the same price as the blue diamonds or reds not to sure lol

The blues at the Santa Monica CA Petco go for 199 and the reds for 79 and they all look underweight.
