LPS can be very horrible. I've walked in to find 3 crickets in a cage with geckos, the crickets were about 1/4 the size of the gecko. The gecko was hiding in the corner, so i told the manager and he took out the geckos, and I being 14 (not very scary) took some pictures of the horrible conditions and said I would report him to the ASPCA (he believed me) if he did not give the gecko a few pinhead crickets as well as clean up the dirty cage.
Poor guys, I would love to buy but I have little experience with geckso so i wouldnt last long with a sick one. As well as I do not have the money to fix it, my parents have the money but I do not. They wouldn't buy a gecko that was sick to help it, they feel it's the responsibility of the store to keep it healthy and if they cannot then they shouldn't be selling them.
But I emailed the guys and I'm waiting for the response.
While i wait here is a fun story that is true, happened a few days ago.
Now I do not know what species it was, but it was around 90 degrees in my town the other day and apparently a gecko crawled into my classroom. A green little guy (new jersey, i do not know what type it was like i said.) Now being a class with a male teacher with around 14 girls they all flipped out. Everyone was sitting here screaming their heads off because the little guy was crawling around on the ground under my teacher's desk. Seeing as how i want a leopard i need to know how to handle geckos so i went towards the guy, who attempted to climb up a wall and go for the white board (high tech board that you can project pictures on as well as right with equipment, waste of money if you ask me) so I cut him off and put my hand in front of where he was walking (i didnt cut him, i went in front of him) and he crawled onto my hand and up my arm. Now imagine a class of kids freaking out because I'm handling a reptile. The little guy sticks to my shirt so the teacher opens the door and yells "Michael get that THING outside." I laughed a little and cuffed him off my shirt into my hands and the janitor (the teacher called him down by this time because he was afraid the thing was rabid.
) was opening the doors for me towards the outside. The janitor led me to the forest near my school and I put the little guy on the ground and he darted off into the woods. Hehe i had alot of fun and it was hillarious since my entire class flipped out and i was like like "Hey there little buddy" and got him out. This is a true story and I later figured out the gecko got in because the teacher left the window open overnight and the gecko crawled in and hid under the heating vent. He popped out when this period started (period 1) and was startled, the teacher saw him and flipped out. 30 minutes later class was still flipping out that I did that. I got in trouble and i simply laughed because it was worth it.
