Best source for a GTP?

[Sauzo]

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I have actually been looking into one of these also. I really just want a pet, not for breeding or anything. Ideally, I would like to get a female USCB with some blue or calico in it. I would like to keep it under $1000 if possible. Age doesn't matter.

Something like:



or



I have seen some like this on fauna, but I am not willing to spend $3500.

Second on looks like a Manokwari/Sorong. Those don't come cheap especially USCBB. You can expect to drop $1000+ for one. And the calico, you can expect at least $1000+ as well. I would be surprised if you found either of those under that price. I was looking into getting either the Sorong/Manokwari or Jayapura/Cyclops Mountain type.

The biggest thing that stopped me was the thought of dropping $1000 on a hatchling and then having it drop dead from me not being precise with the set up. Quick $1000 down the toilet. If you really want one, I would start on a cheaper one like a biak and 'learn' from that one. Once you 'master' the set up on them and stuff, then move up to the more expensive ones.

Let me rephrase, I'd be surprised if you found a high blue one for under $1000. I'm sure you could probably find a lower grade one for cheaper. It's like the Pucallpa Peruvian BCC I'm planning to get from Vin Russo or Joel Diaz. They will be selling lower grade ones for $1000 and $600 respectively but the price will go up for better colors and patterns.
