I went into PetCo after work to pick up some mealies and, of course, headed right for the leos. I looked in the cage and saw one baby with a fresh tail-nip. I know from experience that PetCo adopts leos with tail-nips, so I asked the cashier about it and she got their animal person to open the cage for me. When I moved the hide I saw that there were 3 babies with tail-nips. Naturally, I adopted all three. They are so pretty. The bigger tang. shed today and the smaller one is just about to shed. They all ate like little piggies last night. I told my brother I got 3 more and he decided that he wants one or maybe two(you know how addicting they are!) any way, here they are. Aren't they so pretty? even if they only have 1/2 ~ 2/3s of their little tails.

Awww... they are cute... is that true at all Petcos?

Awww poor little babies! I don't go in chain petstores anymore, I don't do anything but get pissed off! But I'm sure they are going to have a great home now.

I think that's very kind-hearted of you to adopt these baby leos. Most people just say pshaw when they see a leo with part of its tail missing. Just make sure that they don't get any infection as their tails grow back. They are all very cute too.

I have been looking at this leo at the petco by me and it is a patternless with a tail nip almost grown back. Do you know the criteria on adopting the ones with nipped tails.?

 

[becky2731]

All I had to do was tell them their was one with a tail-nip and ask if I could adopt it. When I bought my first leo(she was from PetCo), there were a few patternless geckos with tail-nips that were mostly regrown and they told me if I wanted one I could adopt it. So just ask a manager.

Good luck with them. Show some pics once they regenerate their tails, I'd like to see how they turn out.

Well done! Keep us posted on their progress, those are some very pretty critters!

Here's a pic of baby #2, freshly shed. Couldn't really see her colours or pattern in the other pics.

Aww! I love the one in the second pic!

Congrats on your new geckos
I would get a fecal sample into the vet because of where they are from
Good Luck with them
I have several Leos that I bought as babies with dropped tails
I think that they have character

They've all been to the vet already and everything was A-okay. Your right regrown tails definately have character. I have an AFTG who I think would look silly if she had a normal tail, I love her regenerated tail. I have one leo who I bought at wholesale from Pet Supply Plus (she was all beat up) who's regen. is a huge bulb. It's a unique look.
