Hi there....every store is different, look for healthy looking reptiles to make your determination. Or you can Google " Nebraska reptile expo" and see what shows will pop up. Look at the vendor lists on any of those sites to see if you can find beardie breeders. Or you can look to have one shipped from a reputable breeder anywhere in the country when the weather isn't too hot. Some breeders with good reps. are A-1 reptiles, Rainbow b.d's , Draggintails b.d.'s , Dachiu b.d.'s, Atomic lizard ranch....those are some of the oldest beardie breeders in the country.
