i hate when you buy sick pets from the petstore. out of 7 stores near my home id say only 1 has healthy looking geckos. you should report any store that neglects their animals. sorry about your loss.
Sorry John that your rescue passed. It happens. I have seen alot of patternless that passed away from some sort of parasite or something lately. My friend Joe got a patternless from a Reptile shop like 1 1/2 months ago. It passed about a week ago. The store gave it to him as a Rescue. They were just going to thow it in the freezer but at leaste with Joe taking it in, it got to have a better life then it did.
