Looks like a pretty decent price too. So, who's gonna pull that trigger?

Those things are awesome. The zoo I work at has one, and once a week it gets a frozen Hopper. It stands all 28" of itself up on the ground to grab the Hopper off the tongs.

they are cool but I dont understand why they are preferred over eastern glass lizards that are more colorful and interesting IMO. Not to mention cheaper.

They're much bigger than the easterns I believe. I also think they have a fairly interesting coloration themselves, but that's just my opinion.

Thats all he gets to eat?! If you can pull some strings for him to get a more balanced diet do it, roaches, snails, locusts and boiled eggs should be added.

See if you can get them breeding, its very likely that their availability will decrease in the next years and this one of the animals that if we lose the wild cauth part, their captive breeding is so rare that we could endup losing them from the hobby.
