Back on the subject of "grab bags". I have purchased at least 5 bags in 2007 and 2008 when Michael Cole would bring them in. (thats 50 animals) I was actually there one year when the crate was cracked open and pulled the 3 bags I purchased that year out of the crate. I still have 15 or so of these animals in my collection. Some have layed eggs some haven't yet. I got a couple visual granites some reduced pattern/ interesting pattern animals. A couple of these have proven to be heritable.
In the bags I got about half and half males and females, none had ticks or mites and I gave them their first meal here so they didn't have internal parasites either. CH females are always great animals to have in your collection to help keep blood line fresh. But you have to know how to start baby balls and be comfortable getting babies started.
