I bought them from a local pet store that took pretty good care of them. The pet store recently changed ownership and their prices are finally a bit more reasonable. For the last idk like 4 years they have been asking $65 for normal leopard gecko. Now their price is $36 they have 3 terrariums with about 3 in each of them. One terrarium has leopard geckos in it from the original owner they think they are about 1 year old but they aren't sure. They said that they have all came from local breeders.

I'd like to see the tails a little thicker on them. And the color is a little off so that tells me that they might have been kept at a low temp.

They are underfed from what I can see. They have both eaten 5+ crickets per day since I got them. Currently I have them on medium crickets should i be considering something different? Is that good for now? Another thing that I've been wondering is if I should keep the Night Glo Light on at all times? My house stays rather cold so I left it on.

I live in Missoula Montana, its not really a town where you can find alot of this kind of stuff. The one pet store that i always go into asks $80 plus for a normal hatchling, they hardly ever have much for reptiles just alot of fish and huge snakes. (they are really nice people and they always seem to know how to care for whatever animal you ask them about.)

Generally speaking though we cant get anything cause everything has to be shipped in. Shipping prices are ridiculous here.

He always wants a hefty sum for his offspring.

Do you have an under tank heater (UTH)? I would do that before a night light. Have you tried feeding mealworms or superworms?

Nice looking Leos, good luck with them.

Yes, i do have an Under tank Heater. What i was trying to say with them being underfed is that the pet store didn't put enough crickets into the container when they fed them. They just won't stop eating.
=P I may buy some superworms today.
