I have found nice healthy purple, blue, green, and multi colored gigs locally in Florida 
I just found a nice multi colored one last week. Lol
you just have to have a lfs bring one in..... most of the lfs's get their livestock from rather a wholesaler in Tampa or Miami... both places get gigs in...
IMO, you are much better off getting one locally and seeing it first rather then having it shipped....
Greens are about the hardest color to find not matter where you are located, imo. Out of about 3 yrs of looking, I only found one nice green....
Where are you located?

I'm up in Ocala.
Problem with having my LFS order me one is that I'm not going to ask a LFS order me something and then stick them with it if it's either not bright enough green for me or not healthy enough looking. I don't think that's fair to them. I think I'm better off getting one that I can see a picture of than hoping the LFS happens to get a good one sent to them.

You don't have a lfs that goes and hand picks livestock in Tampa? I get picks and price of them while they are at the wholesaler... I tell him yes or no thanks. I have known him awhile though, and he knows I will buy it if I tell him so...
You could always call a couple shops in tampa. I know some of them get them in fairly regularly...
Whatever floats your boat... good luck finding a nice green...

Stop by ocean's direct in longwood. They get different nems in on a fairly regular basis.
John out at the mad reefer west in Melbourne gets some of the nicest livestock around! You would probably have to have him pick up what you are looking for though....
My one good LFS gets everything from CA.

I work 10 minutes away from Ocean Direct. I stop by there once a week. They usually have RBTA, and sometimes LTA but I haven't seen any nice purple LTA. I'll check out madreefer the next time I go to Cocoa. It's a 1h30m trek. Thanks for the tip.

There are out there but the stores that keep green gigs in stock do not ship. Your best bet is to work with a LFS or DD.
I think I can talk most stores into shipping. I've found that with a high enough $$ offer they'll usually ship. I'd just drive to any in Florida but I'm fine paying way above the market rate for an nice healthy bright green one.
