But IS the gecko from "no-name farms" really as good as the one from The Urban Gecko? A TUG five-star sunglow (which is £350) is from a selectively bred line for the most intense oranges at adulthood, a fully orange carrot tail... has no-name farms done the same ground work and selective breeding to produce not just a Hypo Albino but an animal that justifies the name SUNGLOW? If so, and they're still selling them cheap, good on 'em, they'll sell their babies fast... and might think to themselves "Heck, I could have raised the price another fifty quid and sold all my babies just as fast."

Yes, they're expensive... but if I want a Snow someday in the future you can bet I'll spend the extra money to get one from a line that's been selectively bred to be MONOCHROME instead of just a Mack Snow that'll look like a normal at adulthood.

100% agree here.. the monochrome look is worth the money... a snow whuch turns out like a normal as an adult is very dissapointing

I don't think that crystal palace and TUG are the same though?

The thing is that some people have differed opinions on what's better. The thing is mate you pay for quality and if you don't want to pay then don't expect the quality (although I agree sometimes prices can be OTT but that can often relate to the cost the individual shop raises the price for)


Oh and to note: I'm not saying anything about crystal palace prices my comment was as in a generic reptile shop prices NOT crystal palace in particular lol
