dude.... they are illegal to export!!!!! wholesalers mark up humerosa stingrays to be hystrix because they look ... somewhat similar, but get alot bigger... true hystrix you can only get from brazil and since they have a ban on all thier rays...

they are humerosa/retic rays, from colombia, or peru, maybe even guyana, check on top in the stickies for pix before you buy one from him because they arnt going to be true hystrix at that price

For true histrix in the US expect to pay around 500.00 each. Anyone that says they can order them in doesn't know a histrix from a motoro. The only place to get them is from breeders in Europe and hopefully in the US soon.

no way for $150, only way your getting a true hystrix is CB or smuggled and either way it wont be for that cheap haha.
True there are several breeders in Europe and hopefully Dave has some very soon and the $500 ticket is about right on.. but I dont think you will find a 12" True hystrix for that price..
We should have some coming to the US from Germany very soon but most will be kept.

500 is a good price and that's even if your lucky enough to fine one.
