In case anyone in the area has need of a boy, there is a mature male "metallic pinktoe" at Scamps in Valley River Center in Eugene. I've never seen another mature male of this species, but with a quick search on the boards it looks pretty much identical to this one:

I was talking to the employees a bit and they insisted that it was a female since their supplier sexed it before selling it to them. It has molted at the store and they've had it for about 2-ish months. They said they paid $30 for it, but since a manager wasn't there, they couldn't really drop the price on him. He is currently marked at $59.99.
I'm not really sure what these guys usually sell for and since my female hasn't molted in forever and is about twice the size of the boy, I wasn't really willing to spend $60 on a snack for my girl. If anyone else is in the area though and can convince the pet shop that he is indeed a boy and won't live long you might be able to get them to drop the price to something more reasonable.
