Craig did a show down in NY 2 years ago and he was selling some nice Tangs. He told me it was the first and probably last time he would do a show (at least that one).To make a long story short, he offered me two decent ones for 500, a very fair deal comsidering his "regular tangs" were a very big deal back then, but at the time, I couldn't part with the cash, so I got a nice one from Alberto at A&M (TUG bloodline) for a bit less. I have since bought a carrot head carrot tail Tang Tremper from Alberto and bred him to the female tang I bought the year before and produced some insane tang hets, the orange hue on these babies blew me away. I couldn't believe how much more vivid the orange was compared to what other people were calling Tang. Some have a few spots, but I can't wait to see what they produce next year. I have 4 or 5 of the hets, so I can breed at leats one to a SHT male. I love the Tornadoes too, I just think that eventually, I and anyone else who puts in the time and effort, can produce similar ones myself, and in reality, isn't it more satisfying knowing that you put in the time and effort as opposed to spending all of that cash? If I had that kind of money to throw around, I would probably put an additional room in the house and create a nice gecko nursery and offer to "take care of" some of these tornadoes for a few months.......
