Leopard gecko or hognose snake

[William Snakespeare]

it's not so much the animal looks really bad, but a skinny animal with a very obviously filthy home (which the person taking the photo didn't seem to care about) raises some red flags in my head. i don't want you to spend money on an animal that could have existing health problems they might not ever get over, so you'd pay money for a sick animal that could potentially die.

keep your eyes out for another, as i can guarantee there will be another one, that is plump and in a cleaner home. if i'm spending my hard-earned money, i want nothing but the best!

Thanks for the quick reply

You're right, I am better off with a more healthy and chubby gecko with little to no problems compared to a gecko that is malnourished, skinny etc

These geckos from another breeder are much be better

Yes you are and there is a huge difference between those ones and the other, when looking at a leopard you also want to look at the fat in their tail, look at the other picture again, and again if a "breeder" think it's ok and normal to sell animals by taking pictures in filth think again what kind of "breeder you are dealing with.

A breeder should sound but also look professional and part of it is how he keep his animals and are he is showing/selling them, do we all have dirty cages? Yes, but breeders are on the top of it and spend a lot of time cleaning and they would never send pictures like that other one.

WOW!!! i just compared the photos: i never knew to look at their tails, and that poor baby's tail is almost nothing!!!

I knew that the tails stored fat and that means that theyre healthy but I couldnt see if the baby's tail was really healthy or not. But I'll ask the "breeder" to send some more pics. Man now I really dislike breeders that just mistreat and just breed their animals for profit.

Yip, I am pretty sure I was blinded by the fact that it was a super snow and relatively cheap. So in future I will be more patient and seek out that PERFECT animal.

i'm glad we were able to help you understand our concern. i promise you'll be much better off passing on that animal. you would be miserable if you took that baby home only for it to not eat or become sick right away.

have some patience and keep your eyes open for more Leopard morphs you like. having a healthy animal is worth all the time, patience and money in the world.
