Individual sales are pointless in this instance would they not. Especially when you look at it being the first time the species is available for trade. Dont get me wrong, i'd love to get them, but i see absolutley no point in acquiring just one or two.......you would have to get 3 or 4 to be in a suitable spot to aid in further increasing the breeding of such an extraordinary species.
What does everyone else think?
Either way this species is going to make some serious $ for breeders over the next 5yrs or so.

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-06 Location: Gold Coast Gender: | | | | Yes agree it is a smart idea to snap up all of them, will be out of my price range for quite a long time. Seeing some Oedura species for sale lately has been more mouth watering to my tastes, just dont have the money or the permision at the moment for anything, very disappointing. |

What does everyone else think? | Maybe i'm missing something, but whats so extraordinary about them? Not bad sure, but hardly extraordinary.
Give it a couple of years and they'll be worth the same as Asper. Too many easily found in the bush to stay expensive for too long. Once a few people have them on paper, watch how fast they'll "multiply". |

Happens with anything unusual.
i see the price dropping in these guys like a tone of bricks!! yes they dont have many ofspring but how could you say no to an asper or amyie to soend 16K on 4 similar geckoes. good luck to the buyer, i hope the price stays up so you get your money back! i think 6K ofr the colony would be a realistic price. | | |
