:I saw them on a website for $69.99, anyone know anything about them?

:It says the name is Drymobius m. margariferus.

If you check the racer forum, I know Sacha Korell keeps some Drymobius and has posted good information about them a few times. IIRC, basically these guys are frog eaters that can occasionally be convinced to eat mice, but don't do well when fed mice as a primary diet. Lizards and fish are other possible diet options, but I don't recall any details...
