I'll be delighted for you to meet mine in person, whether on your way to Aladambama (as Georgians often call it), for the September show, for the Atlanta show, or whenever! Not to discourage you from wanting to meet mine, but the ones at Petco are probably available for holding if you ask. Just be aware that they do jump, but their eyes lock on their target well before their feet move so it's easy to anticipate them.
