woo hoo!
hey everyone, just wanted to tell you all that on 30th i went out and brought home my very first every leopard gecko! shes so cool!she is pretty much an adult, about 8 to 10 months old. has a yellowish body with black and tan spots speckled everywhere, and a tail that has grown back ,the color of the tail is so awsome, my friend at the pet store called it a carrot tail? its cool, its white with orange and black spots!
wish i could figure out another way to post pics so you could see her!

Congrats on the new addition! Leopard gecko's are so much fun. They were my first experiences into the reptile world, lol. Have fun with her!

Nice to see someone else with a leo. Have you read up on them much? Also, if you have any questions, I can just about answer them all. Good luck.

Jeff,
I always try to do as much research as possible on every live critter I have. I will keep you in mind makes understanding them that much easier.(including my dogs)As a matter of fact I have tried to become a member of leo-land, havn"t had a response back for my pass word???
Have yet to name her tho, need to find the perfect name to fit her personallity.

e-mail me at Jeff@leo-land.net and we'll get that straight. Sometimes post nuke messes up.

what was this local pet shop? (I live in your area and am looking for shops)

ptmn20, I t found her at the Petco on 59th Ave and beardsley, ask for Jay, he's my friend and not to mention a great reptile information source!

It's good to hear there is someone with herp experience working at the Petco chain!
we get alott of calls from our Ct stores!

Anyhow Crowley, congrats on your new addition. They are great herps to care for!!

oh, I was thinking there was a herp-specific store I was missin out on, Oh well :(

The only herp-specific stores I know of are ARC (Arizona reptile center) and PETS, inc. (which, isn't really, but they have a lot of herp stuff). Wow, lots of people in AZ, I didn't even realize, lol. I feel like I'm forgetting one, but I don't think so...

i only wish you were forgetting one...i think there might be one or two in tuscon. i could be totally rong. actually im not sure what led me to believe that. well if there isnt one, then there should be. anyone here from tuscon?

I think Hoomi is...

I am also pretty sure that there are not any more stores here. Sorta sad considering the amount of people from az that are just members of this web-site. If anione here really wants to, they should start their own herp store :).

ptmn20,
I have a buisness card for a company called Walk about Reptiles, I think I got the card from the last reptile expo in scottsdale. There here in Az but I dont know where, the card says Maricopa,Az.
602 361 8060 is the #, Gene and Colleen
it says they specialize in leopard gecko
if anyone else knows of these guys please add to.

Yeah, I dont beleive these people own a store, but they are also called montezumasreptiles. There web-site is www.montezumasreptiles.com , and www.walkaboutreptiles.com . I bought my first two leos from them and was very happy, one of them was sick, and died, but they were extremely helpfull asking for updates, and giving me tons of advice (I contacted them a month after I bought him, so they obviously didn't offer to take him back, and i wouldn't have asked). The female I bought from them is still doing great. I suggest if you do buy from them, go ahead, and if you are looking for them at the next show, they will be called montezumasreptiles.

Oh, fogot to mention that their last name is Jenkins.
