I like the 2 of the 3 females personally. #'s 2 and 3.

The males im not too keen on but plains throw out some nice babies sometimes. problem is the plains are usually the ones that are still heinz 57ish meaning most likely they havent been "cleaned up" as much.

Females are hard enough to find let alone some nice looking ones and if planing on breeding them (kinda obvious since buying a group) the missing tail isnt anything to sway your decision. It wouldnt me anyway. Depends on the price, id say 500-550 would be a good deal for the group.

Yea, the males are pretty much a throw in. I plan on getting another male (really red) soon after. So I think the girls will be a nice start.

Thanks for the reply.

As a whole the group looks descent. With your "red harly" being the nicest. Although I should let you know that she is not a harly at all, but a Red bicolor (you could say it were a flame seeing in how the dorsal area is lighter than the side flankings). But really she's more like a bi-color than anything else. As for the males they don't exactlly look up to par for the quality females you have. But hey there your cresteds breed/buy as you wish.
sidenote: always question why a FEMALE is missing it's tail, typically that is bad breeding ethics or negligence.

The Missing Tail: Yea, thats what I was thinking, because I know its bad for Leopard Geckos to breed without their tails. I dont know yet, I might just buy a trio of nice looking reds.

I wanted variation, but I also wanted males that carry some good genetics.

Thanks,

Lu
