If you could have (for free and space is not an issue) any one of these more expensive and rare blueys, which would you choose?

I'd get the most expensive one then trade it off for TWO blotched. :D Oh yeah I voted for blotched but I would take a blotched or a shingleback doesn't matter.

It's really a tough choice. I'd of course take them all, but I voted for Western.

Wow, this is tough. I love Centralians, just something about their colouration I find very endearing. But I love the unique and charismatic faces of the Shinglebacks. I think I have to go with the shingle, as it would be most different from Maya.

I guess I'm fascinated with their uniqueness and rarity, so I'd take a Kimberley first, but a close second would be Rottnest Island shinglebacks, for the same reason.

i went kimberley rock northern as well.. but a VERY close second is the centralian. i like shingle backs alotas well but i think im more of a fan of the smooth blueys. my " i dont need to rob a bank" wish list consists of nice kei islands ( which i might have a lead on!!!) and some yellow mareuke's like the first pic in the merauke section. these 2 are tied with andrews bright northerns.

I voted Western. They are without a doubt my favorite. I love the Centralians and Shinglebacks about equally (but for different reasons) and they are in close second. Followed by Blotched and then Kimberly

How can you not fall in love with their itty bitty tails? :love:

Those Western babies are so cute, but I voted Shingleback with Centralian as a very close second.
