Why so much for Lechies??

I agree seems like there needs to be more of a organization! Of a price rang a specially sence it's not like there isn't a verity and quantity anymore there are so many breeders everywhere now! And there all "leaching" of the base price you would to if you bred and sold them to tho it would be hard to get rid of one of these cuties!

Makes sence harder to breed and to make it worth it sounds like you need a few!

If there isn't paper work in the breeding of this lizard I believe the breeders who did would stand above the rest!

By paperwork I mean some kind of form from a reputable breeder or some kind of documentation of thier locality. I figured I wouldn't have to explain what should already be understood, especially from someone who knows about this gecko. Nevertheless, like I said before, I have ones I bought for 400 and others for 550 plus shipping. The one for 400 was mixed island from a first time breeder. The one for 550 was pine island lechie with both parents with import locality paperwork. A steak at Long Horn should not cost as much as one at Ruth Chris. Bottom line.

Agreed.

There are ALWAYS cheap leachies available. You need to look at the parents and decide what a baby is worth to you. No breeder is forcing you to buy their animals. As an example, the top photo is one of my island mix pairs. The bottom is of my pure pine island pair. Are you seriously suggesting that I should be selling babies from the mix pair for less? Because NO. That would make me an idiot.

Second, earlier you said "That's a step forward towards respectable dialogue, congrats! Now let's see if we can differentiate between a question and a "rant". Sorry, I'm not a professional internet blogger, I'll go to the discussion area next time". And yet you literally just said "The breeders are glad you did this [moved the thread to the discussion forum], because they want to protect thier investment. I purposely put this in the add section so BUYERS can see how they are being RAPED". So it sounds like you are both ranting and being manipulative. Make up your mind. Also, comparing a breeders asking price for a luxury item which is in no way necessary to a buyer to rape is a pretty shit move on your part. Do better.
