Grand Terre. Folks want such big $$$ for there guys that finding
a female is usually futile since you cannot afford it anyway. The hatchlings are still pricey and with the long maturation period it is hard to pick up babies and raise them up to adults and expect to break even since you have so much money tied up in them for so long. I am waiting to pick up a female in one of those "end of the day deals" that go on btw vendors at the shows. Last Sunday I traded for a really nice male patternless albino leopard for 3 of my crested hatchlings which I regarded as a sweet deal. Now I have a mate for my Tremper albino female. Hope to stumble across a leach in the same manner one of these days. The only big challenge is that I need a GT and they are pricey even for leachies. A Leachie breeder at the show estimated the big guy at $750 to $900, I almost fainted...

750-900 is a bit high, ive seen them from 475-600, with the CF Mt. Koghis being the most expensive.
GT's are very pricey though, I think 500-600 is still too high, I got my male Isle E for 275 shipped, it was a sweet deal, now I just need to find a breeding age female for him.

does anyone pay what is asked ??? I do not know, I would not pay what I posted for my leachie, but do others ???
I brought mine up, side by side, with the "blotched leachie" up on KS right now for $800. I see no difference other than mine is a lot bigger. I agree that prices are not real, but, what would you have to pay to get yours back ???
Crazy. But it is a T. Tytle GT Leach. Basically, stole it at Daytona two years ago for $250 as a hatchling.
Anyhow, Happy Holidays. Maybe we get a Leachie female in the old stocking, (watch those fingers)...
