Prob is, most if not all the customers I have ever dealt with woundn't want to buy geckos missing their tails. Oh, and if the gecko you adopted had a cut or sore, they shoudn't have let you do so, as the policy is that we can only adopt out healthy animals....if an animal is injured or sick in any way, it must go to the vets asap, and be kept in the back and treated until it is well, and then it can be adopted. obviously, they weren't following policy.
