There don't seem to be too many about.

I've only had a casual look to get an idea of current prices, but I haven't even managed to find one yet.

I assume these are a little scarce?

They're scarce in the UK because people haven't figured out how to breed them yet, but they can be got from Germany for around 80 euros.

Hi,you see them offered quite frequently on the German sites.Best bet is to wait for the BTS show,see if any off the Germans or other Europeans are over here with them.
Shep...£105 a sling is a bit steep mate eh???

Zee Germans seem to have the hobby pretty well covered. As much i like to buy off UK breeders and suppliers and even hobbyists theres just some T's that you can't find over here, and then the Germans/East Europeans have to come into play. Hopefully over time this will change and the UK can get some excellent breeding stock going and get some of the rarer T's out in the UK hobby.

The thing is no matter what hobby it is your talking about, the Germans are doing it a lot better than we are! I remember back in the day when i used to keep fish (because my ex wouldn't allow me a huge collection of spiders) the Germans even had rarer corals and fish!!!
