Do wish I could remember where I read that they weren't all that good -- that way I could go back and check that source's sources. But, I will take your word for it unless I find something verifiable that says differently. And if I ever should, then I will post it so if it is bogus it can get torn apart, if it is accurate it can be learned from.

There is that. LOL

Good point. In any event, though I would love to try them, I think I can remain patient until far more experienced herpers like yourself can "get the kinks" in their husbandry worked out.

the thing is, and don't get me wrong, I am thankful for it, the numbers imported are very small, both times that I bought one, they were from shipments in the single digit numbers.

In a way that's great, it means that there not coming in by the hundreds, or thousands to all die. (like many monitors do)
