My nephew helps me care for my geckos and he always wanted one so I told him when he gets everything it needs I will buy him one so I was on a local site and saw someone selling 2 juvis. I talked the man for a couple of days and decided I would get one of his for my nephew. I went to his house to get one and I was in complete shock. he called himself a breeder but he had brother and sister housed together on calcium sand and to make it worse they had absolutely no heat I picked up the little boy and he was an ice cube. I know im in florida but im more north central florida and it was very cold today. I was able to talk him down in price and snatched that little guy up he is in a cage layed out flat and soaking up the heat. I was very interested in the female and wanted to buy her but while we were there the female jumped out of hands and smacked her head on the tank and just stood there As much as I wanted to grab her in run I was afraid I would buy her just to have her die. the mom and dad were housed together so he said they just keep mating. we were talking about other reptiles and got on the subject of iguanas and I said they were to much care for me and he said yeah with the lights and having to give them calcium. I said that does not bother me I dust my leos food and he said he does not have to cause they eat the sand then asked if I wanted to buy some and I said no thanks and told him I use tile and why and of course he just kept telling me how great the sand is. I wanted to grab all 4 of his leos and run. I told him a few things on my mind and left but I just keep thinking about those poor babies.
