People have had bad experiences with them mate.

It's also worrying they sell wild caught animals..and advertise the fact.

I haven't come across this site before. My initial thoughts are that the size would be wrong for a 06 hatchling. My 06's are 10cm and the 07's are 7cm.

Then theres the WC, CF etc, encouraging people to buy imports they haven't even got yet.

Also their definition of LTC - long term captive - in captivity for at least 3 months. Hardly long term is my thought, maybe its a standard definition, I don't know.

Just my initial thoughts.

Aren't all of yours WC?

Treating for parasites is not expensive... not treating for parasites... can be.

The smaller RFs sure looks like CB but not a Cherryhead. The imported farmed animals have little license plates stuck to their shell. Each animal is registered before being shipped from the farm.

While caution needs to be exercised when purchasing from a shop... no more so than from a breeder.
