    Re: How to choose a leo?

    Another thing you will want to watch for (that is if you don't take Raptures leos- Beautiful by the way) is Metabolic Bone Disease, make sure their limbs are strong and hardy. If they are soft and bend in strange ways or walk funny don't buy.

    Make sure they are active (as much as possible with a leo lol)
    Alert
    Clear eyes and skin
    Nose and mouth are clear and no discharge
    Like Rapture said, no stuck shed
    If possible ask to see them eat too.

    Then once you get them home and let them settle in, get a fecal sample to the vet to check for parasites. My vet charges $25 for a fecal and its well worth it.

    Re: How to choose a leo?

    OK her is the reason for me asking this qiuestion.

    Today at a pet store i ran into a guy who had an adult pair of tangerine leos. He was going to give them to the store owner. So i asked him if he'd sell them to me and he said 50 bucks for the pair and i thought that it was a really good deal so i asked him to hold them for me.

    do any of you guy happen to have any pics of your Leos setups and/or your Leos themself

    Thanks,

    I use little ceramic dishes to store the calcium/vit powder, mealies, and water. I use the glad plastic sandwhich containers to make humid hides. I keep them on paper towels.
