Too many yet too few!!!
Hi all,

I saw a couple of these at Hamm last weekend and very nearly picked up 1.2 (until the one that I was being shown suddenly decided to leap out of the breeders hands onto the table, then onto the floor and then around the next-door stand before it was caught. He did happen to be telling me just before this about how calm and docile they are! lol.) Once the one of the trio had had its escape and was a little stressed I decided to wait another year (especially as I needed to research them better before I got them).

So, Does anyone here keep them? Has kept them? Or knows someone who keeps them?

I'd be interested to hear detail on all aspects of their husbandry in captivity to add to the knowledge I have already gleaned from various caresheets and such but I was hoping to get some first hand details as well!


Thanks
Torsten
 
I don't personally know anybody who has kept them, but I have seen a member of another forum who keeps and breeds them just fine. (His username is Telefrag, you can see some posts here and here. You might want to contact him and see what kind of information he can give you. :D)

I have wanted some of these for the longest time. The first time I saw them, actually. LOL - I love the way their eye color changes from green as a juvie to bright blue as an adult. It's absolutely gorgeous!

When you get these, please post pictures! :D
 
Thanks for those links, I'll have a look.

I am pretty sure that I will pick up a group of them next September and I will be sure to keep you lot updated with pics!
