I just came into possession of these cb silver eye babies. They are not from the Jahor region, but a new locality. Enjoy. I will work on getting some pictures of the adults.

So what locality are they from? And who produced them?
Thanks

[Steven Busch]

At this time the locality is not being released. They were bred by Marcus.

[Riverside Reptiles]

Why make a claim that they're from a different locality and then refuse to share the information?

[Steven Busch]

Because they are from an area that has not been collected from much and there is an extreme competition amongst the collectors. Collectors get followed by competitors etc. As this is how they make their living the point of collection of rare animals is guarded. After we obtain some additional specimens and we have confirmed it is ok to disclose the state where they were collected we will. Not disclosing the location also protects the animals until their numbers can be determined. It took 6 months for this breeding group to be collected.

I put the pictures up to share. If it is offensive I will pull it down until the additional information is available for sharing. I have also received a new skink species, several specimens of rare frogs etc that have not had location information made available for the same reason

[Riverside Reptiles]

I have many strong opinions on this subject of not sharing information. But I'll keep them to myself to spare the community the debate that would be sure to ensue from it.

I would like to add further to Steve's statement.I had asked Steve to keep the locality a secret until further notice.Steve and his partner Janet Emery have assumed my full collection of Felinus and will continue to produce Locality specific Felinus.I have moved on to another project after 12-13 years of having at least two pairs or more of Felinus around.

They provided myself the oppurtunity to move the whole collection as a group,which I did not want to break up.They also have the first captive bred offspring of the undisclosed locality.As Steve mentioned,there is good reason to hold this information for the time being.There is also some more news concerning another Locality of Felinus soon.Look for Steve's post in the near future to keep you updated as this progresses.Take care,Marcus.

Well congrats on the new locale Steve, and congrats on the babies Beautiful

Marcus, sorry to hear that you've left the felinus community. I wish that I had the opportunity to grab a few more from you before you sold 'em off. But thanks for your time and information that you've contributed. Obviously without you there would be no felinus community. I hope that your future plans continue to include a felinus book. Good luck with your new project.
