*edit* and after this weekend I hate, but don't condemn, shipping of reptiles. Over priced and no where near as reliable as it should be.
well they're 65.00 and I've seen them like 90.00 and the shipping isn't that bad when I look at some places (like 40 bucks) I'm paying about 9.95 for shiping and I just went to a show Sunday and they had no Gargoyel geckos
but like 50 million crested geckos and lepard geckos and fat tailed gecks (I have to say I did get a leopard and a fat tailed). and there isn't any "private breeders" around where I live unless I go to a show and they were like a day or two drive away from there the one I bought from was like from around Georgia or something.and the one guy didn't know llike anything I asked them what subtrate to use for a fat tailed geckos and he said 'huh subtarte?' and sorry if I spelled something wronge it's normal lol

If a breeder couldn't answer a simple question like that, I would think twice about buying from him. Are your herps healthy that you bought from him?

I have found a good place for me to get my reptiles, Regal Reptiles in Providence, Rhode Island which is only like 20 minutes from my house. Im going to check them out in a couple of weeks to see what they have available.

Yeah Chronic why do you despise the shipping of reptiles????

Why I hate the shipping of reptiles: Its not as reliable as it should be and its very stressful for both the animal and the reciever. I know its usually necessary and Im not saying don't do it, it should just be a last option in my opinion.
