Hello everyone, I finally chose not to bring Nanci home, for anyone who does not know who she is, she was a leo I bought "my first leo" that seemed really underweight and would not poop or eat for me.
Anyways, I phoned the man and we dealt with the situation.
I have now been and bought a male leo, he's settling into his new home.. After a few hours of having him, I offered him a cricket and he jumped on it and gobbled it up, he's had a few mealworms and a few crickets :)

Thanks everyone for your opinions and advise, it helped me build up the confidence to phone him, and if I didn't then I probably would have taken Nanci back and had her die on me or something..

His name is Peter.
I'll name my next female reptile Nanci. I really wanted to honor a reptile with the name of our Nanci here at cs.com :)
 
I'm glad the situation is resolved on your end, George. I hope the female gets straightened out and ends up making it.
 
Just being paranoid, but I hope you santized the viv first, you don't know what was wrong with her.
Hope things work out better this time, but I would be leary of buying any more animals from the same person.

Ask George about his mouse thawing procedure sometime! He's Mr. Clean.

George- you divorced me! That's ok- it was a good decision. Probably horrendously tough to make.
 
It wasent easy to return a pet, once I become attached to it.
But I'm confident I made the correct choice, and really glad that I got peter :)
 
I'm really sorry/glad (delete one then the other) with the outcome....I know it was a hard time for you, but we all got your best interest at heart........ It's all a learning curve innit...... I'm just lucky I have the KING OF EXOTICS to direct me....:rolleyes:;)
Now don't forget to enjoy it..... And some pics please
 
I'll try get some pictures in about 2 days, I'll let him settle down first :)
Haha, joel the king of exotics! :D
My parents are actually taking more of an interest in my reptiles, they have even said they are considering maybe something like a tortoise or a small lizard :) we'll see :)

thanks mike :)
 
Hang in there George.......You won't be young forever.........
The Burm might be staying actually.......... We been having chats with a third party (it's complicated)....... And he has a lavender albino retic....... So albino burm x lav albino retic Bateaters may be on the menu.....See how things develop.........You'll be older then, and we could still do a deal....Hey win/win.....LOL
 
Hehe, good idea mike ;p

Update :

I have still not handled the little guy, I'm still going to leave handling out for a week or two.
He has eaten again today and because he's only about 6 inch, I have been told he could be young "I have no idea of his age" and so I should have meal worms in a small bowl everyday and offer him crickets everyday and see how many he'll eat in a 20min feeding session.

His heating is about 87 with a max of 90 and a min of 85, and here is a picture of his complete set-up, he's in a glass tank and therefor I have put desert pictures around the outside of the tank to make him feel that bit more secure :)

Update on Poppy and Alex:

I might updload the 5min video of when I left the room sometime later, its really funny! They kinda look at the camera like "omg?"
 
Nice set up! Mr. Butters has the same warm hide as Peter does.
I will have to post pictures of him for you once he sheds.
They are really funny critters and you'll enjoy having a nice healthy one.
