Prices change all the time.
Just wait, till middle of winter, then they will be around 100$ since producers don't have many babies left to sale.

That's not a bad price for a petstore... but you should avoid buying from a petstore whenever possible. If you're looking for a leo in Victoria, we can point you in the right direction ;)

Incidentally, I would never buy an animal from the petstore that I think you're talking about... a lot of their stuff is WC, and even if those leos aren't, I can almost guarantee you that the employees aren't using quarantine procedures or anything...

Just for the record I bought both my Leos from a local breeder at a reptile show in Early october... Both Het for Blizzard and paid about $30 each ;)

Retail is <I>at least</i> double market price. Normal leos are usually around $30 if you buy them from a breeder and are typically much better condition than store stock.

Also, I starred out the name of the store due to the possibly implications from below.

Leos produce year round. There are always an abundance of leos. I wouldn't expect the price to change according to season. Wholesalers always have their breeders (or themselves) supplying them with babies.
