Hi folks,

I'm still desparately trying to get hold of an O.S here in the UK, and so far had no luck apart from one quote of Ã"šÃ‚£65. I dunno, I thought that to be a little much compared to prices over in the US.

Anyway, is there any UK keepers on the board who has been able to source O.S here? Where from and how much?

If there are any other options out there, my ears are really wide open ;)

Cheers everyone!
 
hi have you tryed asking your local shop, most of them here use tmc in manchester to get stock but it is close to me. When I wanted a mantis my local shop said tmc had them quite often. but, I ended up finding one in my tank I never new i had until recently.
 
which is a OS sorry brain not working
was it a peacock you wanted?
i can see if i can get one if you`d like then let you know

Yeah O.S = Ondontodactylus Scyllarus or Peacock Mantis.

I have a couple of shops on the look out and hope on a new importer. Let me know mate - would be so grateful.
