Yes, we had purchased a group of snows from her at the time and decided some new blood for the tang project would be nice too. Could not pass them up

I can see it in your photographs alone..... They are very nice. In comparison to what I own and have seen however I still say the photographs used to represent them seem enhanced in comparison to what comes out of the box after purchase. Again, I think this is just their equipment and not intentional.... Many other breeders out there have similar issues showing oranges and reds in their digital photography. We did too, I had to ditch our olympus last year.

Yes they sure do! Thats why I had trouble bringing myself to purchase tangs from Craig. I was VERY close to doing it last season, and again this season when the tornados were listed, but I could not do it based on their photos. It was either insult him by asking if he had another type of camera to take the photos with, or pass. I didn't want to insult the man, so I passed.
I'm still hoping he has a snow i like soon, I am more than willing to dish out for one of those!!! Gotta love the snows
I was able to obtain some VERY amazing tangs in the past few seasons from people like Kelli @ Hisss, Albey, Alberto, Tundra Geckos, Etc. for much less than the $1500 or so tornados. And they were in most cases just as good as any Urban line animal I own or have seen..... Or better. In fact on of our most amazing tangs was purchased for under $700. To me there really isn't a tang out there worth much more than that unless we begin entering the realm of 50%CT or more..
I've hunted down and now own some of the best tangs I have been able to find, never once did I come close to the pricetag of a tornado.... Man I was tempted to buy a few though!
If the tornados go down a bit in pricing I still may dive in to diversify bloodlines, until then I'll work with what we have or wait till you have some babies for us next year Bruce! gluck bud.
