who do you prefer for c.h babies?

We were wondering what every one else thought on the best source for c.h babies. If you like to get yours direct or have a favorite importer you like to goto, or what.
We have bought from Ben Seigal in one way or another the last few years and have had excellent results. Wheather we are having some one hand pick for us at his place or getting them from him himself, we have had nothing but nice fat fast growing babies.Out of 250 last year we lost 4 non feeders, and that was it all year. Not bad for unstarted babies.

I have a friend eho imports so i buy from him. I would never import directly too much hassel. Even if you get your import export licence which is easy as long as your over 21 and have no criminal record, you still have to higher a broker to broker it nto the country, file for cites paperwork, and find someone who will sell to you in Africa, which is very very hard cnsidering they all want to sell to the guys who are paying 25k for everyshipment, on top of that you normally cant just order balls, you have to get in misc lizards to even out frieght. So in the ong run i dont think its worth it, i only buy 500-1000 every year, and its too much headache when you can just buy them as they come in.Ben is a good guy, there are alot of people that import, or buy from importers and re-sell. There are a lot of good people in this trade, there are also alot of shady ones.
