I am not exactly fond of purchasing wild caughts especially normals...however I have seen a few people and alot of the bigger breeders have found some morphs my getting a unique import and proving it out. Just curious on how people find these unique looking imports. It doesnt have to be the next morph either just a unique color or pattern

Usually the trappers in Africa contact the breeders in the US when they find something new. Usually the prices are pretty high too because they are new and the trappers now know our market. Usually you have to be higher up on the chain to get the contacts, but I know Ralph Davis has a page on his site where he shows animals for sale out of Africa. I don't know if he's updated it lately but he has had a few on there this year.

how much you pay.........
they come from Africa for $3.......
then get picked through and picked through again and again...
by the time you see them...they are all normals........more or less......
you need to pay for the odd things.....just see any bigger breeder.....not BIG but one that buys alot of imports.......
.......lots of stuff for $200 to $1000 oit there......
usually not worth their asking prices.........
.......$3 would be better.......LOL.......
