They are just about non-existent in the pet trade ATM so sellers can generally ask what they want. But most of the people who can afford them either know people who have them and can get them cheaper or would prefer to buy hets and start their own breeding project. The other problem with buying young olives, if you are planning on breeding them, is that they take nearly five years before you can breed them safely. As young olives are prone to being egg bound and it takes along time to get a return on your investment.

I think hatchies go for somewhere around the $12'000 mark, usually being sold/traded in pairs for around $24'000.
