Haha just a friend I have been chatting with via email. i bought some of his adult sumatras from someone else and asked for his info so i could find out their lines, and we got to chatting and he mentioned "sending me a few hatching eggs'' little did I know a "few'' meant close to 40 haha. He is hoping to get Ga noi eggs from me next year so I think we are going to just wind up trading eggs over the years.
In general i get my hatching eggs on Ebay- yes it is a risk, since you don't really know the seller but I just read the ads really carefully and check the feedback- thoroughly, I read all the negatives and neutrals (if any) and skim the positives for any clues about the seller and then only buy if I feel confident, and usually only if they are NPIP tested as well. Not foolproof, but I have yet to encounter any real issues other than poor hatch rates and that is most likely due to them being shippey postal workers who toss the packages around.
