The price tag is high because they don't produce as many eggs as other rhacs and also take a lot longer to reach sexual maturity... I don't have any personally just cresties and a chahoua but would love one ... you can usually get a mixed strain for a lot lower price have seen them as low as 3- 4 hundred bux.... A few months back someone gave away 5 for free on Pangea
Try Gehyra Marginata (Poor mans Leachie ) is a big chunky leachy looking gecko at a fraction of the price
