Poly ID

$35 is the norm for sizes CB @ 3-5". A good deal is $25. Seen some on the east coast and ebay for $50'ish to $60. Geesh.... that's high for small ornates

Surprisingly, my LFS has the polies pictured above at $14.99. They are 3-4”.

I think that assertion can be challenged by the bigger a-hole, the teugelsi. But I digress, as everyone else has said, ornates’ markings tend to lighten as they grow. Let us know if u do decide to get one!

I hadn't heard of Teugs being a-holes and mine has always been peaceful

do you think those higher prices are for wild caught?

Those small ornates offered are almost always captive bred.

15 is a great price. Although I've also seen pet stores in Los Angeles during my visits that are 18-20 bucks.

For my neighboring areas in the Portland, OR. 25 at in a place when in stock, 35 at wet spot, 40 at another, and 50 for ornates at other smaller lfs.

Almost always 49.99 here. Never heard anyone say Teugs are jerks.
