Nice-looking item for sure. For that price and if I had a credit card--i'd buy it.

I bought one... I'll let you know how it shows up... from the same seller too. I also bought an egg stand from him to hold the egg. That is truly a job for a patient person.

A job I could never do now being that I have been diagnosed with a Tremors disorder--as of last week. And I used to be very good at building things from scratch to make a diorama with. I used to be very good at detail on 1 7/2nd scale figurines. That is figurines that are about 1/2 inch tall.

I know the feeling... I feel worthless some days. Can't do anything, wife does all the yard work. I try and do some things but usually end up with angina and a good cussing out. Can't drive without falling asleep or she;s with me poking me every few seconds. We live way too long these days. Back when we died in our 40's would have been fine with me.

Yeah, its really starting to get to me. All of my organs are in excellent working order--just have slight problems with my lungs and thyroid? BUt I have other things that the Drs say will "go away" if I get an operation I need. I have now been waiting a full year on it and it was supposed to be done before the end of summer last year. This operation has put my life in Neutral and its really getting to me.

Not at all... I ordered two of them and they showed up today. They are firm enough but so well packed that you'd have to drop kick the box to break it. The eggs were individually boxed using tissue paper and paper towels for cushion. I was to remove one tissue at a time. The little box was then placed inside a large 12x12x12 priority mail box full of styrofoam peanuts, marked fragile and they showed up just fine.

No kids, thank goodness. Never felt the need to breed. They are both locked in a barrister with glass doors on the front.
