Default so i went to my local reptile shop today.......

as you walk in the door they have the gecko vivs on the right and i had a peek in 1 and what do i see a dead chinese cav gecko now these were priced up as £225 for the trio i walked up to a member of staff and said think you got a dead gecko there mate.
he came over and shoke it no movement and it wasnt brething so what did he do??
he put it back in there n goes ahh well he might be dead but he can stay in the for a while to make sure
the gecko was well dead im quite sure of that i bet it will still be there tomorro
the thing that worries me is that they dont no what killed it so it could pass it onto the others in the viv hmmmmm never buying any herp from in there now il just stick to my live foods (and even then they aint that great)

Really??? That's awful.... no concern for either treating the sick/dead one or prevent the others from having the same fate. Sickening.
