Thats some passionate stuff there Jon. I could not agree more. As you know, I LOVE all the Frog Eyes. I keep all I can get my hands on. A perfect example of what you are talking about are my Teratoscincus scincus that were just $30 a couple of years ago. Let someone try to find some now (the Russian ones). Thank goodness you told me not to sell them a while back. I think all the frog eyed geckos are sooooo much more interesting than most of the species offered. You can watch them for hours, without getting bored. They are a challenge to breed or even TO REMOVE THOSE DAMN EGGS FROM THE CAGE WITHOUT CRACKING THEM! BUT, when you finally see the results, its AWESOME! I ALSO could not believe my eyes at those gecko discounters selling robowrskii and the przewalskii for that little. I bought a s**t load of them. I know that they won't be around for long and I dont want them all to fall into 14 year old hands, where they are most definately doomed. People should realize the value of what they have. I fear alot of these sellers, just sell low to avoid all the deaths looming around the corner. Some of my favorites are still the cheapies. The stenos, the coleonyx, etc... You can't even compare those geckos for personality. They are so unafraid and interesting. Anyways, I could go on forever but I think my point is clear.

Hi Alec and all!

As for T. scincus I believe we with Rustam have no problem to provide someone who is interested with some even in some numbers. On the other end, it is also very interesting subspecies T.s. rustamowi are also known from one local confident area..
These are very rare, but soimetimes (once in several years) may be available for seriouse swap/trade if someone is interested in.
If Rustam is able he can post a picture of this subspecies, but some people think it is a distinct species taxon, and it's highly possible so.
