Default leopard gecko near Tamworth/Burton

hi..we have been told to come in here and see if there are any breeders of leopard geckos near to where we live?
we have a year old rainwater albino and are looking for a friend for her as the one we had from petshop died and i want to see some healthy parents etc from a breeder to ensure a nice strong gecko..
so need a female about 6-8mths old?
anyone know of anyone?
we are located near M42 junction 10 in staffordshire and are willing to travel 20ish miles?
thank u very much

If you head down to jct 4 on the M42 (Shirley) get off and head north up the A435 (Stratford road) towards Shirley for about half a mile you've got Shirley Aquatics on the right(just past the Landrover dealer)
They always seem to have leos of various shapes and sizes! Not sure if that's any help!

Yeah you don't wanna house an adult with a baby, could get messy! I live just round the corner from Shirley Aquatics and bought my first leo about a year ago now. Felt really bad for little Tina all on her own but as you said, they just get babies and i couldn't put one of those in with my juvenile.

Then, one day i went in to get a bulb and saw Leona! Same size, similar colour, love at first sight! They've been living together happily ever since!

Guess the moral of the story is just keep checking with them cos they get some randon ones in quite often (they had an albino leo a month or 2 ago!)

Sorry to hear that. What was wrong with her? I've had 2 leos and a beardie from there though and they've all been fine and healthy. Maybe it was just one of those things. At the end of the day it's a good shop with good staff compared to alot of the ones i've seen. Probably wouldn't write it off from one bad experience.
