Considering the problems I had recently with a seller of FAKE ghost ooths, I reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason.

Preference will be given to those I know personally and regular forum users.

This is just a hobby for me and I'm not commercially breeding. There are no guarantees of hatching or hatch rates expressed or implied, though there is *proof* of mating in pictures in various threads in the breeding and photo fora. Read Peter's buying ooth thread, stickied at the top of this forum.

Shipping will be at cost as <b>specified by you</b>. Delivery confirmation required. Price includes a heat pack.

<b>Paypal preferred</b>. Confirmed address required if I do not know you. I may require payment up front if I do not know you, or other payment is agreed upon.

All sales are pending the hatch of the first ooth from each female.

<b>PRICE: $55/each + shipping</b>. (except as noted below)

Open to trades for Orchid or Dead leaf nymphs.

PM me to reserve ooths as listed below:

All ooths have about 20-22 'zigs and zags' at the 'zipper' I believe this means roughly 40 eggs each - again no guarantees on hatch rate.

Bump for the week.
Hello im new at the forum so bare with my stupidness please im interested in purchasing a Ooth from you my email is [email protected] Im a bit unsure if you still have them if you would send me a email regarding the Ghost ooths It will be much appreciated, also if you have other types please list availability of Ooths and young or adults available once again thank you. I am a Vet in NYC I keep a few of these guys in the office showcase the clients go crazy and are always inquiring about them the ghosts are one of my favorites as im kind of new to this take care.

 
Yay! :D Came home today to 15 new ghosties. Liana's 1st ooth hatched or started hatching today. Pics to follow. Changed Rebecca's ooth to #Li3 since Li2 would likely hatch if shipped Monday 11/9.

Now taking reservations for ghost nymphs to ship at L2 for $8/ea. + FedEx 2-day or USPS express ($25 or actual cost if more).

ChrisP - sent you an email.

More hatching - Trina's first ooth - 10 so far from a small ooth laid in 2 parts.

Trina's other ooths are for sale now!

 
Last call! This is the last ooth that I will be selling from this batch!

Liana:
