Palmas price worth it?

[Steve_C]

There's a shop that is not all that local, about an hour away that just got in a 7" "Palmus" (from googling I think they misspelled "Palmas"? I emailed them and asked how much and it's $60

I'm not familiar with that species. Is that a common species or less common than something like del's & Sen's? And is $60 a good price for 7" one? It's about an hour from me so not sure I want to drive 2 hr round trip for something like that unless its a smoking deal or a rare species.

much less common than a del or sen and personally I'd pay $60 for a 7" palmas however a lot of times polli are sold as palmas. I've been looking for a palmas myself. If it is a polli I'd say it's a little high but not much. Either way I'd grab it

 

[thefredpit]

oh the polli are also rarer than a del and sen and just as active with great looks and personality

It’s a good price for the size.

I actually have a pic from the shop so maybe you guys can tell for sure what it is. Let me go to facebook and grab the pic and I'll post so you can see what it is.

Those are lapradeis.

 

[thefredpit]

yeah you definitely don't want laps with your sen or in the size tank you have

I just checked wetspot they have a 2-3" palmas for $30

Lapradeis are often mislabeled as "Palmas".
