Thank you, but I'm not interested in buying a second red Miurus. Anyways, how rare is it compared to the Duboisi, Palembangensis, and Baileyi?

I think it would be harder to find the other 3, although I did just purchase a wonderful baileyi last week!

Really? I thought that the Duboisi would be harder to find, but the Palembangensis and Baileyi would be easier(as the red Miurus is much more expensive than the two). Also, what do you think a Duboisi would cost? If I find one I'll get it no matter what price it is, but I'm curious what a normal price would be.

No it does not exists, it was established that they are normal Fahakas and if check catch records from that lake (which is one of the most strange lakes in the world) they are ordinary size, no smaller.
