Long time lurker, first time poster. I wanted to chime in with Joey and add to his Good Guy post for Rudy Aguin of Bold and Bright Geckos (user B&B Geckos).

I'm a first time leo owner (pet only). I'd been wanting one for quite some time, and last year I fixed upon Bold and Bright Geckos for his amazing tangerine leos. I first inquired with him in January 2018 on purchasing one of his geckos, but due to a sudden change in circumstances, I had to back out on it at that time. He was understanding, and told me he'd have some babies in May I might like to check out. I set a notification on my calendar to follow up, and in the meantime kept regularly visiting his Facebook page and site, while also visiting local reptile shows. (Beautiful leos there, but none quite like what Rudy had.)

May rolled around. I checked out the site and a new baby leo was posted within the last day or two. I emailed him about it. Rudy replied quickly and answered my questions about the gecko's sex, diet, coloration and much more. He helped me process payment when I had issues with PayPal, sent me a care sheet, questioned me about my husbandry and returned with advise, checked availability for accepting shipment, checked temps and so, so much more.

The leo arrived safe and sound. He was securely packed in his deli cup with a paper towel, the cup well padded to prevent jostling. The leo himself was beautiful, just as pictured. He settled in well and quite quickly. He has been a great eater and grower, wonderfully docile but energetic, as a young leo would be expected to be.

I'm very happy and would recommend Rudy to anybody interested in his leos. I had reservations about purchasing a gecko for a good chunk of change from across the country, sight unseen, and dealing with warming summer temps and transportation. His constant contact assured me he wasn't a breeder who wasn't interested in either my business or his gecko's well-being.

Speaking of contact, Rudy's even checked up on Hobbes - the leo - on IG and has kept in touch through social media. I appreciate that.

High recommend. If I were to get another, I'd love to go through Rudy.
