My fiance works at a local petsmart in New York and they just started getting geos about 2 weeks ago. I agree that they are probably not surinamensis and also that they are abalios. Mine have the blue iridescent stripes down the side, a very faint spot, and red eyes. about 2 inches long atm. however, unless you've personally worked at a petsmart don't bash them. my fiance has worked at other chains and actually called OSHA and the local SPCA because of the atonishing disregard for animal welfare at other places. Petsmart contracts a local, private vet, and ANY animal that is sick gets a visit to the vet, even a 1.99$ mouse. Aids (the fiance, we call her aids, her name is adrienne) is an animal caretaker and spends an awful lot of time in the fish dept. their water is pristine. They take excellent care of their fish. In fact, of my 3 severums, the one i bought there is probably the healthiest. Likewise with some of the africans i bought there for my african tank. I'm not a corporate whore, and am actually an intense conspiracy theorist, but i gotta say, when it comes to animal care, petsmart is bomb. not to mention all the wonderful things they do finding greyhounds and cats and other dogs homes.
Oh, jesus. the reason i posted was. i spoke to aids' boss. they will be carrying geos normally now.
