about to buy this...is it a good one?

Hey! I'm about to buy this gecko online, and wanted to know if anyone has heard of the website and if it's a trustable site?

Also, just wanted to know -hypo tang X, are they real bright and pretty as adults?

And, is $80 (including shipping) a good price? I'm just trying to get the best type for my budget...

Thanks!!!

I don't know anything about the website, but if you want to get an idea of what that gecko will look like I would ask to see photos of the parents.

A lot of people have different definitions of Hypomelanistic and Tangerine. Are there any adults available to look at on the website? If not, ask to see photos of some adults, and then you can get an idea of what he considers Hypo-Tang. That will also give you a better idea of what the gecko will look like as an adult.

Good luck!!

you said hypo tangX, right? well hypo tang X what? doesn't the X mean one parent was a hypo tang and the other is another thing. like if it had a hypo tang father, and albino mother, then it would be hypo tang X albino. or im wrong.

Yeah, you're right. It was a Hypo Tang X Golden, I'm guessing that's close to a normal?

He does have pictures of the parents on the website and they don't look as bright and colorful as some of the other tangs I've seen. But they're still adorable, so I'm going to go for it.

Thanks for your help guys!

goldens are awesome, they're like a golden colored hypo-super hypo. when SHCTs are golden, i LOVE it.
