Mostly my friends had their own leopard geckos, and I would always read the care book they had next to the terrarium. I never liked the look of the wrinkled leo's skin, but it was a reptile and that was enough to fascinate me. Mostly when I went to pet stores I would get all excited to see their selection, and be incredibly disappointed to see $80 a pastel with cohabitation in EVERY single cage. And I cringed every time someone bought a can of crickets instead of dubias, or when a little kid asked the staff on how to care for his reptile. I see why pet stores are important, but I don't think it's worth the cruelty. Theres 2 cents from a (just now!) teenager. Does it count if I turned 13 a week ago?
