in this market, it's also hard to find some who will pay you a reasonable price. i ran into someone last year who was looking for full grown albino hets - first i said, sorry, i cant help you... then one week when i was looking to make space i offered up a 3,000 gram female, and he wanted to give me $500, citing ads he's seen - nothing 3000 grams though.

this gal consistently gives me 8-10 eggs, gorgeous albinos, and i'm going to let her go for $500? nope, i'll create cinny albinos instead.

the reality of buyers who are looking and those who take the time to raise up these solid ready to go breeders is often too wide a gap to bridge a deal.

not saying that you are like that and i do hope you find what you are looking for. you might try just calling the really big breeders - vpi, nerd, etc... they might have enough turn over to find you something. i've called ralph in the past for breeders ready to go, and he's entertained the idea but you have to meet his price. i just bought a full grown high end morph breeder from pete kahl - again you gotta meet his price. but i think it's worth just cold calling (or emailing) the folks with a lot of stock.
