Default Mill garden centre geckos looked REALY underweight!

Me and my mate went to the mill garden centre in chesterfield today as he got another spider as im a lizard person i decided to take a look at the lizards and i saw about 6-7 adult leos there tails were as thin as a pencil they had no life in them :-(. i wanted to buy them all and feed them up but have no money. People who keep reptiles like this need to be banned from keeping reptiles! Makes me so angry to see them in such a state!

sadly theres too many reptile shops and keepers who
a) dont know how to care for thing properly
b)cant be bothered to care for them properly thus pure laziness or dont care

I for one am sick of seeing it

you could try calling the rspca but doubt theyll help much

The council is a good call as they can revoke their pet shop license if improvements are not made for the better wellbeing of the animals.
