What's the most y'all have ever paid for a gecko?

Hehehe....do you take checks or money orders?

. . . .Paypal me bud. I'll ship your order today.

LOL.

Around $3000 for 1.2 adult het blizzards in 1999.
$3800 for 1.1 het Rainwater Albinos and 0.9 50%possible hets in 1999.

I'd say Kelli spent the most! Wow! I don't feel so bad now!

Now, just what is an ugly Leo?

The most I have spent is $250 on a SHTCT from Albeys. It is the most I have spent, but not the best money I have spent. The best was (Well, for me free), but my friend traded a few snakes for 2 Amel females (And 1 stripe female) a few years back and gave me the Amels...best money I didn't spend.

My prize gecko was produced in house. He's actually going on a FedEx truck in the next few hours....


I have some nice projects in the works though, the one I hope to be most interesting is the snow bell hybino project. Needless to say that could take a few generations, but I already have a male snow het bell that's going to be my stud next year.


I will be producing giant x blizzard crosses next year I think. My blizzard female is the only female in my collection that is large enough that I'd feel comfortable introducing to the male giant (he's truly huge).


Then there are the projects I just won't speak of

$13,000 for leo's.... yes all at once. I bought out Walkabout Reptiles and incorporated it into Montezuma's Reptiles.

im up to over $3000 for all my leos , after recent$ 400 and $600 purchases ...not counting amel -fatties ..those im up to about 1g ............a nice high orange amel male ..and 6 het females one striped and pied , one pied, and 4 banded s

$$$ 1500 for 1.4 hi-yellow hypos in '95 from Bill Brandt, 1800 for 1.3 color manipulated normal ripoff gourmet fatties in '96, then HAD to have the Leos Anonymous "screamin' red" amel fatties last year at 1000 and 675, a 550 fattie from Masterpiece and Alberto's website fattie for 500 ( I love every one of them and their little babies ). 200 here, 400 there, 2 grand on redstripes from HQ last year. They make me happy, just like spending a few grand to go on a surfing trip. I know people who think it's insane, shaking their heads as they walk out of the store with 50 bucks worth of beer and cigarettes.

Yeah maybe....but look at anybody who is really into a hobby. Regardless of the hobby, be it coin/stamp collecting, computers, sports memorabilia, remote controlled cars/planes/rockets, gardening, bar hopping, etc......you are going to spend a fair amount of cash on it. I have always found it funny that when the hobby is herps most people seem to raise an eye brow at you like you are half nuts. Yet they would not think twice about someone who paid $5,000 for an autographed Dale Earnhart helmet. Go figure.
