Thank you all for your replies! =D
I've already checked around my area, and there aren't any leopard gecko breeders. The only downside to paying for shipping and the animal itself is that I would have to pay in cash as I do not have a credit card. I don't know if any breeders allow sending in cash for an animal and shipping costs.
As for the petco, I've bought animals from them before, but they weren't reptiles. My pet bird (now 7 years old) came from petco and he's never had a problem and only a few minor unrelated to petstore problems. I knew what to look for when I bought him though because both my parents have owned birds before. I also bought a mouse from petco before and it lived a very fat happy life before my boyfriend fed it to his snake. I knew what to look for with the mouse too though because I've bought mice before, and my boyfriend had several mice. (They were all snake food.)
As for the 100 dollar pet store, Pet Kingdom, that I mentioned, I might think about buying from that one. There are pros and cons from that store. They don't have an animal return and many of their animals are from mills. I know someone who's bought a puppy from there and it died overnight. She never got a refund because the cause of death came out as unknown. The pros are that my boyfriend has purchased a healthy corn snake from there before and it's never needed a vet trip once.
