<center>The Story</center>

Quote:

What are Leguani?
Leguani are a breed of lizard, native to several tropical countries. They're quite large--about the size of an averaged size dog, actually. They're covered from head to toe in thick scales; their massive paw-like feet are adorned with sharp, long claws; and there's a long line of shiny and flexible, yet extremely sharp quills that run from their foreheads, ending in a small poof at the tip of their tails. Leguani are a very varied species--they can have any personality traits in the spectrum, despite the fact that it's quite odd to see a huge, dangerous looking lizard nuzzling against it's owner's leg lovingly, quite similar to a kitten.

Tale of Leguani
The heartfelt tale of the Leguani begins when vacationers, returning from various tropical areas, brought back relatively small lizards, which were native to the lands. These lizards, known as Leguani, were soft, small, and docile. Having no reason to to distrust humans, they made ideal pets for children. But, sadly for the vacationers, they grew rather quickly. The panicking parents instead dropped the lizards, barely contained within cardboard boxes, on the homely welcome mats of various pet shelters in the dead of night. Vee-vee was the owner of one such pet shelter, and she specialized in finding homes for every Leguani that is found. This is more difficult that it seems, seeing that as a result of their rejection from the families that they loved, their trust must be earned--slowly and lovingly. Vee-vee recently retired and passed on her Leguani rescuing skills to myself!

The Leguani are the concept and artwork of Vee-vee. TarnishedHalo runs the shop with assistance from azuredreams. DO NOT STEAL THE ART OR CONCEPTS. We will devour your soul.

<center>Stages</center>

User Image

First stage--before you ask why there are two first stages, let me explain. When a Leguani is brought to the shelter (ie-1st generation), it is brought in a box. Obviously, this isn't what happens when Leguani breed and have litters. Therefore, 2nd generation and above Leguani are shown as a large egg with a stripe of quills.

IMPORTANT!:You MUST post and tell me that you want your box/egg to open. It will stay in the first stage forever if you don't, so don't come whining to me about your box/egg not opening. >_<

User Image

Second stage--Whenever you choose to open your box, your Leguani "evolves" or "grows" or whatever to the second stage. At this point Leguani are about half of their potential adult size.

User Image

Third stage--This is the final stage, which your Leguani will reach in a week or two, though in rare cases, it takes a bit longer. A large gem, which can be any color, appears on their foreheads, which is a sign that they're ready to breed. The three gold rings on the end of every Leguani's, on the other hand, is just some bling bling for them to show off ttheir newly gained status. n_n This is also the point where you can buy and equip items.

IMPORTANT!:A Leguani CANNOT grow to the final stage unless they are named.

1. Read the first post before asking questions!
2. No spamming
3. No flaming
4. No begging
5. Be nice!
6. You may direct link when your Leguani is growing, but you MUST host it on your own server when it's an adult. I will delete the adult Leguani from my server once I'm sure you have it saved.
7. If I've forgotten anything, post on the thread and I'll answer it/possibly add it to the FAQ. X3
8. Any Leguani that's being sold will be shown in the Sales post. Any one that's being auctioned will be linked in the forementioned post. If there's nothing in the Sales section, PLEASE do not ask if you can buy a Leguani. >_<

10. The people running the shop reserve the right to change whatever they want with no notice ahead of time.

Quote:

Q: How can I get a Leguani?
A:You can get a Leguani through a flatsale, an auction, a raffle, contest, a gift from the owner, or a bribe.

Q: Tell me about flatsales!111!
A: Flatsales will be announced before they occur, and a flatsale Leguani costs 2k. Previews will be posted and you can try for one when I say GO! or something like that. Post the number that you want. Whoever is running the flatsale will confirm what numbers are purchased and by whom. If you get the leguani you asked for, send the trade for 2k.

Q: Are flatsales just for people who can't afford auctions?
A: No, flatsales are for everyone; they're on a first come, first serve basis.

Q: Can I sell/auction/give away any eggs/boxes that I get from a hatching?
A: Yes, you can, but you must tell me when you auction/sell (and link me to the thread, if there is one), and I'd have to take a 40% cut. Don't worry, though, you'll still get 60%, the majority. If you give a Leguani away, you don't need to pay me anything.

Q: What about Auctions?
A: Auctions will be linked fromthe first page. There may or may not be an autobuy depending on who is holding the auction and if they are questing, etc. They are held for 24 hours. All auctions will be announced beforehand. Starting bids may vary.

Q: Wait, you didn't answer my question! WTF?
A: If I haven't answered a question, just ask it on the thread. I'll answer, and if it's something that really needs to be up here, I'll add it to the buying faq. n_n

<center>Breeding FAQ</center>

Quote:

Q: How do our Leguani become a couple?
A: You must RP to establish a relationship and you must post when they're officially a couple. I don't guess.

Q: Why do we have to RP?
A: You can't just throw two people who've never spoken to each other together and tell them to go make a baby, can you? No. This is why I require you to at least RP a little bit to establish a relationship. It doesn't even have to be good RPing! xD

Q: Gay couples?
A: Yepyep, everything's allowed. They can even get preggers!

Q: Does being a couple cost anything?
A: Nope... it just puts them on the above list. Somewhat of a proclamation of luurrvveeeeeee.

Q: Okay, okay! They're a couple now! Now tell me about breeding!
A:Breeding costs 2000g and that can be between the two owners. If there's any breeding spots open, just post saying that your Leguani want to breed and then send the trade.

Q: Moorreeee! Tell me more!
A: Okaayyy! Your Leguani can only breed once and can have 2-4 eggs with each breeding. Unlike boxes, you can't choose when eggs will hatch. It'll take a few days after their certs are updated to hatch.

Q: Can I auction off my eggs?
A: Yeah, you can, and you get 60% of the profits. I think the parents would be hurt if you didn't keep at least one, though. :\

Q: Yeah, I'm out of questions.
A: Good, 'cause I'm out of answers. xD

Item Shop FAQ</center>

Quote:

Q: How many items can I buy?
A: As many as your little heart desires! (or as many as will fit on your Leguani)

Q: WOWZERS, can I buy them and equip them on my Leguani as often as I like?!
A: Not exactly... Due to the workload that that'd require, I have to limit buying items for your Leguani and altering what is equipped once every two weeks.

Q: I've always wanted an angelic panda... since Gaia won't allow layering of head items, will you?! PLEASE?! -desperate cling-
A: Aaiiii! Yes, I do allow layering of items. You can have an angelic pandy if that's what you want. I suggest the pirate set, because it looks bloody awesome together.

Q: How do I go about buying this godly shtuff?
A: See the names and prices of all the items? Make a list of the names and prices and then figure out the total cost. Post your order on the thread, DO NOT PM ME! Send me the trade with the correct amount, and I'll update your Legu as soon as possible (no more than a couple days, I promise!)

Q: What does that C stand for?/What's this about custom colors?
A: The C stands for custom colors, which are only available where you see the C option. Basically, custom colors means you can choose any color you want (basic color, NOT patterns or designs) for 200g more. You must provide me with a hex code or a color sample in your order if you're ordering a custom color.

Q: Those sneakers have a checker design, yet that's not available in the color bar next to it. Can I still buy the checker sneakers?
A: Yes, you can. You'll notice that other items, like the stockings, have an option that's not in the color bar. It's just because I'm lazy.

Q: Will there be more items in the future?
A: Of course! There'll be more shop items coming out in the near future (especially hats! I'm an incurable hat whore! xP). There'll also be limited addition items released in the shop. You can't forget the ultra-rare items that'll be given out/won in contests every now and then.

Q: Your prices are too high/too low! Change them, idiot!
A: Input is always appreciated, so post on the thread... but please try to avoid the name calling, butthead!

Q:Jesus, woman, you didn't answer my goddamn question!
A: If you have any questions that I haven't answered, please post them on the thread and I'll answer them.
