Lately there have been a lot of "leo colony for sale" ads. I know life has unexpected twists and turns, which means a lot of these people have no choice but to give up leos but it looks like some just got tired of keeping so many leos. So I wanted to ask, assuming you continuously have the resources, how many of you here actually intend to keep your leos for the entirety of their lives?
 
I bought a male 5 years ago, in 1999. I will never sell this leo, and he will be with me until he dies. I am sure a lot of breeders have leos that they will never sell. :D
 
I know a man that bought his male leo as an adult WC animals in 1978! It just passed away last year, 20 plus years is a norm I think.
 
If you look at some of these ads where they are selling all of their animals, with the exception of a few holdbacks. These holdbacks are the ones we'll never let go of =).
