$250 is to much for this RF with that damaged shell. I got mine around $150 ( shipping cost included) from an online breeder located in FL 3 months ago. He (or she, I could not tell) was two and a half inches long, healthy after a long flight

So far I have installed a hygrometer and maintain the humidity above 80% by just spraying water. But I might need to install a fogger later on in case Im out of the house. Thanks for the advice.
