no thats the only one right now, they are kinda hard to get. we had 1 about a month ago that was about 12 inches across and was yellow with red tears. that one didn't even make it out of the bag, a guy took it home that night and he is doing great. | |

well the big ones cost big bucks, the smaller ones cost about 140 to 160. that huge one cost about 500, the 1 we have now was 350. but teardrops always cost much more because of where they come from. | |
