I rescued 2 tiny leopard geckos from Petco yesterday, I couldn't leave without getting the 2 little guys out of there. One of them was smaller than the other, but not by much, but the larger one I got to eat 6 good sized mealworms when I got it home, but the smaller one wouldn't eat. Unfortunately the poor smaller one passed away today, before I could even name it :cry: Here is a picture of the poor little guy, I'll miss him, but he was adorable for the few hours I could spend with him. And at least he had a nice warm home for his last day *sigh* so depressing.

I'm really sorry to hear that. It makes you angry to think how in the world can pet stores do this.
At least the little fellow has the best hours of his life while in your care. RIP

I'm very sorry for your loss! But you should feel proud of yourself! You rescued this little guy and gave him a home, even if only for a few hours!

i would throw a fit at petco. i am very sorry for your lost. everytime i go to petsmart or petco, their reptiles are always unhealthy, and i start yelling at the manager to have them cared for better. they have kicked me out several times for that. i just hate it when people see them as just reptiles, especially at a pet store. plus, they charge way too high for very unhealthy reptiles. it is a big ripoff.
