 Q`s about going to show

ok i will be going to a show in march and will hopefully find a nice baby tokay(they some there last time anyway

i wonering a few things

1. should i ask to hold it?

i am wondering b/c it would be easier to tell if it was healthy etc. but i dont know if they will be so fast that they will get away

i have a crested gecko and for the most part he is pretty slow

what is holding like especially in babies i know they can bite but that is not my concern

i manly want to be able to check him all over for health and everything

are tere any questions i should ask the breeder?

here is what i am going to ask

is it captive bred?

is it eating well?

that is all i can think of for now i but i know i had a few more questions lol

any more advise as to what i should look for etc is very appreciated

thanks

1 You can ask if you don’t mind the bite... i asked and got bit but didn’t care... They are super fast, and will jump off your hand
2 ask if he’s wild caught or captive bred (try for CB)
3 look for mouth rot when it opens its mouth (it will open it)
4 look if its dehydrated and skinny of fat and healthy

ok i dont want to take the risk of loosing it or anything lol

i dont mind the being bit part i will get over that lol

i get bit all the time by various animals(i work at a petstore) so that isnt really the problem but i didnt want him to get away or anyhting

ill make sure to check for mouthrot

i am hoping it will be semi tame when i get it (like maybe they breeder handles them alot)

so i wont have to worry about the running away part

i want to get him out to look at but i am afraid he will get away since i dont know how crazy they are about getting away from people.

i have never held one before or anything so i dont know how they are

i will just have to be carfull i guess lol

thanks
