I know where you got this, and not anyone can order from them. They do not sell to "individuals" anymore (says on the front page of the website even).. but I have to agree, the prices are a little outlandish in the classifieds sometimes.

You have to keep in mind, you cannot choose what you want from that place either, you call, tell them what you want (the best "special request" you can get is specifying the sex) and pay. Then you open the box and see what they sent, sometimes its good, sometimes leaves a lot to be desired...

that's where i used to always buy mine from, i've gotten satanics, lineds, and mossies from them as well as many snakes and other geckos. i haven't tried since they changed their policy. i believe if you were to go ahead and buy a few hundred dollars worth of geckos from them they wouldn't have a problem with it. that or lets say leah, say you have a website and it's an " online" petstore or something like that they may sell to you as well.
i've never had any issues with them, they always give a 5 day health guarentee and stick to it.

I've lost only two animals from them in the past. I held them to there policy and have kept up on them about it. But I was going down the price comparison aspect of it.

I still do some business with them after the policy change but thats mostly because I've kept up on them about my transactions and I'm a past customer.

Anyways, remember that person who came on here trying to claim he pays X amount for his animals and thats why his prices were so high. I could throw up a few other price lists on here for comparison to what they are being sold for. Its about the same mark up.

Cheers
Jason
