So the lizard I help care for was purchased at Petsmart.
I do not want this to be a big thread trashing and talking about how bad the chain pet stores are -
But I happen to know that the petsmart it was purchased from does not stock, nor use repashy. I also highly doubt that they dust their crickets.
As a result when the lizard was purchased it was a bit skinny, and simi-sluggish. It was not malnourashed, or deformed but not exactly 'healthy' per-say either.
It is amazing what just a month with the correct food can do.
The pictures may not do it justice .. but the change in person is very easy to discern.
