Quick update: Just left Petco after speaking with the general manager Mike. I've "returned" the two Leopard Geckos I purchased, and they will be going to "Petco's Vet" this afternoon at Petco's expense. I should be able to pick them up tomorrow afternoon (assuming they don't have Crypto). I'm...

I'm pretty torn about this, but I'm going the others tomorrow. Hopefully I can convince them to give that one to me. The plan is to nurse the others to full health and move them to a forever home.

Found this little guy at Petco today (sorry for the blurry picture): The tail has no fat, and his legs are literally bones. I canceled my Petco PALS membership and will no longer be supporting the store. I would rather buy from online dealers than continue to support such gross animal...

Dude, I want that big Beardie. :D

I try to purchase everything from the local pet store, but I definitely prefer Petsmart to Petco.

The show was really disappointing. :(

Anyone going? It started today, but I'll be over there tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

I also used a stain+sealer, and was able to speed up the "deodorizing process" by putting baking soda inside of the cage. I left one package open and sprinkled the other all over the floor, etc. Definitely sped up the process.

Their poop really stinks. I've owned snakes and leopard geckos, but Beardie poop takes the cake on smelly. If you keep the cage clean, however, there isn't any smell at all. Conveniently, mine are "poddy-trained." I take the adults out every other day to poop in the tub, and the baby poops every...

The key is to look for "low voc" stain/sealer, and to give the tank plenty of time to air out (with heat).

If you look up my history, I also started a thread about this. I was able to post some great pictures of exactly what femoral pores look like.

Looks like a pretty standard orange dragon. I think some people might call that sandfire, but the name's are hardly relevant. Just please don't call it RED. :wink: Nothing irritates me more than people parading around orange Beardies like mine and yours claiming that they're red.

Looks perfectly normal.

Absolutely. In fact, I'll knock off a bunch of tiny, tiny baby roaches sometimes for my youngest Beardie. He enjoys chasing those little things more than crickets!

As cute as he is, definitely a good idea to talk to your neighbors. I recently found my lost bearded dragon, and it would be pretty upsetting to have had someone else get to her first. A Craigslist as or two might locate the owner.
