Well, while I was at a family reunion, a girl, who was about 18 or 19 years old if I do recall, came and I noticed she had a small critter keeper with her. To my surprise, there was a juvenile leopard gecko in it.....and it gets worse. The poor little fella was on sand that was a light blue color and you guys won't believe what he had as food...a strawberry. What pissed me off even more was that it was at least 95 degrees outside and I'm pretty sure the little fella was baking in the critter keeper despite being in the shade.
The girl began talking about how she cared for him...She said he stayed in a 5 gallon cage on sand...with no heat. She claimed she was going to upgrade him into a larger terrarium once he got bigger but with the care she's giving him, I doubt he'll even be healthy.
It really urks the heck out of me when people buy reptiles and don't research their care before they buy them.....
