Sorry, caps, but I just had to share. This has been a long time in the planning, and I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere. And my god am I excited about the fatties I'm getting!

A major thank you to Urban for putting up with me (I couldn't stop e-mailing) and making me such stunning geckos!

Nice additions. A bit male heavy but some nice geckos.

I should note I already have 3 adult females - 2 banded amels to breed to the stripe amel male, and a normal stripe to breed to the banded whiteout male.

Congratulations! I would be totally excited to get that group!

Great group of AFTs. It's gonna be exciting when they are old enough to breed. :main_thumbsup:

 

[EverEvolvingExotics]

Yes! I'm glad you got your group ordered. When are they supposed to arrive? I'd be estatic to get that package in the mail, congrats.

So cute!

Thanks guys. I am so happy to be getting these, and to have a group to share the joy with. Craig said shipping won't be next week, probably the week after if the weather is decent (in the middle of a snowstorm right now). I have no issue waiting, I just wanted to make sure I got my group reserved.

I had so much fun watching the update and picking out my faves. Craig helped me to decide; I think I grabbed an amazing group, we picked out the nicest he had. He was really in love with #354. I'm in love with all of them The wait has been totally worth it.

Great to see some Aft come to Manitoba. Craig, is so nice. I must have called them a dozen times when I ordered my geckos.

Awesome purchase!!

Nice group of fatties your getting. Is TUG the only option in Canada for Fat Tails? The only time I see anyone getting fatties in Canada is when they come from him. It's too bad you can't get them from some of the breeders in the states.

By the way…."snowstorm"???? It's been like 85 degrees here for the past 3 months straight! We just got a cloud to roll by today and I was excited! LOL! I couldn't imagine living anywhere where snowstorms were rolling through in early October. Crazy!! Stay warm!

TUG is the only big Canadian breeder as far as I know. There's a couple hobbiests, but I wanted a large group. In the next couple years I will be getting geckos from the USA to add to my group too.

The snowstorm was annoying. Last year we had a really mild winter (not much snow, didn't freeze to death constantly). This year we're expecting lots more snow and closer-to-normal temps. Some years we don't get snow until November, which is great. All the snow from the storm is melted already, but it was enough to cause blackouts across half the province. Yay winterpeg!

Really nice group you have there! You might be able to get fat tails from Geckosetc./Steve Sykes. He has started vending in Canada and he has an international shipping license. Shipping from him might be similar to the cost of getting geckos from TUG, unless you are picking up geckos from a show.

Thanks RR. I'll go look them up Though I should probably let my bank account recover first...
