    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Don't want to burst your bubble.....

We purchased a gecko from our local petco about 4 months ago, who looked to us to be a possible snow. She looked almost identical to the one you purchased, but after about 2 or 3 sheds, she turned out to be normal, a beautiful normal, but normal none the less. Good luck though, I hope you have better luck than we did.
Like the old saying goes...if it looks to good to be true than it probably is.

Regards, Tony
 
It may be

I have 3 Petcos in my area and I often see some beautiful leos in them. The people in the stores dont know much about them and they even put on a glove to catch them lol , but the tanks look to be cleaned and always have fresh water and a supply of mealworms. The main thing I am always concerned about with the stores in my area are the adults they have are all in the same cage and there is always at least 2 males housed together. I have bought a few SuperHypoTangerines from them some with carrottails as well as a few Rainwater albinos and 1 of the albinos was a Tangerine. I always see patternless and trempers in the store as well. I saw what looked to be a mid grade snow a few weeks ago but I didnt buy it but I went back the other day and it was still there. It lost some of its white and it was more of a pastel color but still could be called a low grade snow. I know they have like a 15 day guarantee so if it starts to look like a normal just return it.
