should i get? phelsuma abotti

[Sang]

Well I have a chance to obtain some P. Abbotti. Or aldabra day geckos.

They are selling for about 140 each, *store probably paid 45 wholesale* for the 4 which appear to be all male, cb juvies..

I was offered to trade *when they hatch* 4 for 4... In reality I'd probably be massively loosing out... But are they worth it?... Or sell the chams and pay the 140..lol feels loose loose

As much as I like the local petstores, you are probably losing out and could get them cheaper online selling the panthers. Try do to 2 panthers for 4 or work out a better deal. If they won't do it, then don't agree.

I might be in town Friday evening to check 'em out.

Hey man, just got home and saw your IM but had no idea there even were Phelsumas on the Aldabras. Although i'm really not much of a gecko person, I assume they're somewhat rare since I haven't been aware of them before? Still, trading something they likey paid $45 for, as you said, for something that wholesales for $80-120 doesn't seem all that even. Neat looking gecko for sure, though.

Btw, Syn and Sang, I picked up a juvie P. klemmeri this weekend!

They are extremly rare, supposedly only bred by two or 3 people, one of them here in arizona...

cool kent, those yellow heads are pretty cool, they got about a dozen or so at the local pet store along with somethign called zebra cape geckos *probably a phelsuma species*
