The Urban Gecko
Just looked on the website and I couldn't help but think they have got a lot of nice, but overpriced geckos? Am i right in saying this? Even after the conversion, some of them still seem rather steep. Even if I bred a gorgeous lookin gnormal royal python, I wouldn't charge any more for it. Whats the deal with these guys?

Got some leos from these years ago and they were superb, but very expensive.
Crystal Palace Reptiles now import leos from them so they are much easier to get.. Dont know about their royals. Some of their morphs look amazing though..

I have seen in the flesh a selection of Sunglows and Phantoms from TUG, and I must say they are stunning, worth the money if you are going to breed them imo.

The prices arent too bad, they are more expensive depending on the quality of the gecko and if your going to breed them then quality matters but for the same morph that is what they class "low quality" is a reasonable price of around £80? Which i would pay any day for a snow or phantom from them, and even more for the pretty much 100% carrot tails
 they do good breeders bundles too id love the sunglows.

I don't think there's anything wrong with grading animals based on quality, it is done with bearded dragons world over, why not leopard geckos? You can pay £500+ for a "holdback" quality red bearded dragon from Fire and Ice, or you can pay £100 for a "pet" quality. They're from the same parents, same genetics, but you pay for the intensity of colour and the breeding potential.
If you want quality these days, it's really worth paying for

I must admit i cant see the point in paying extra for a normal royal python
but for line bred genetics yes...
