Cheap herps at the AHS Auction!!

[JasonL]

The annual AHS auction was held last night, this year there were plenty of herps donated by generous keepers, and boy didn't some of them go cheap!!!! Some of the herps that went up were Coastal Carpets, a Darwin Childrens, Turtles, Blueys, Sand Swimmers, Stone Geckoes, Northern Spiny's, Adult O.marmorata. N. levis levis & occidentalis, a female beardie, plus the usual herp books and other items.... and they went dirt cheap!!! most well under a hundred bucks......Well done to everyone who donated for the night and to everyone who bought something.

I can't believe how cheap some of the herps went for, I'm going to have to make sure I have a spare enclosure next time the auction comes around so I can pick up a new gecko-provided I can out-bid Bry and Bugs :lol:
It was a fun night, thanks to the organisers and all those who participated

[Nephrurus]

Lots of bargains. One member picked up a very nice orange Nephrurus levis occidentalis for $60.

Sandswimmers went as low as $30. I think some stone geckos sold for $40.

I almost forgot, some coastal carpets went for very low (read: appropriate) prices. Some nice feeding childrens went very cheap as well.
