I bought 2 of my leos from petco and petsmart, the oldest and the youngest, and one is a morph that would go for 75 or more from a breeder, she was 20. The petsmart she was in took very good care of the reptiles, thet had 1+ hide in each cage( the leos had 3) and the vegitarians always had salads in their cages, same with the petco. The lady at the petco actually owened her own reptiles and let me hold all of the snakes they had. Anyway, the geckos from the stores are doing just as well as the one from the breeder. Not saying all pet stores are good, don't get me started on petland.
