Default Is this animal healthy?

I am considering getting this animal from the pet store. I've read through this entire forum, the caresheet on A. felinus, so I think I am prepared.
But I would like your opinions on whether this animal is healthy to begin with.

Here are the pictures.



Thanks,
Adam

It's kind of hard to tell from those pictures. Personally, these days, if it's wc, I wouldn't bother. At this point you should be able to purchase cb animals without much problem. You'll have to make your own judgement on whether this one's healthy or not. Look at the animal's hips, you shouldn't be able to see the hip bones at all. The animal's tail should be nice and fat.

I have to make a trip to an expo in eastern Canada, the only ones available in western Canada (where I live), are WC. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like a nice male, and healthy enough from the pics, though you can't judge the health of an animal solely on looks.

Yes, it is. You and I are interested in similar geckos, rare arboreals. At the moment, I've got a male U. sikorae not sure about subspecies yet, and a P. quadriocellata. I'm considering either a community tank of U. phantasticus, or a pair of A. felinus for next year.
I think that whatever I get, it will probably be CB from out east, or down south. I might be making a trip to either Ontario or the states for an expo.

Maybe I will see you at the ERAS show. I'm wearing a long sleeve brown shirt, glasses, jeans, black and grey shoes. More than likely I will be looking at some arboreals or arguing with the people at Reptile Kingdom. I will be at the show at the latest by 3:00.
See ya,
Adam Foster
