I chose definately not, because I'd only ever really get any of my pets from specialists who actually know what they're doing, not a random general pet shop. You can never trust non-specialists. Well, at least I can't.
Anyway, even though they did look alright (certainly not in the any time soon), there would probably be some hidden illness or something, knowing pets at home.

The pets at home here is great, so I'd happily buy some reptiles if they looked in good condition

No, solely because big retailers and general pet stores seem to be more pricey in reptiles than any specialist stockists or breeders and often are of no better quality anyway so would have no benefits me buying from them, would just stick with my local shop and breeders myself.
