I will definitely try and buy locally.

since I am just starting the process of researching these guys it gives me lots of time to ask around. We have our local spring show coming up in a couple months so who knows what I might find there

Here's the one that hatched a little while ago, a single egg this time.

I can send you Neil's e-mail in private, you can buy from him with closed eyes- all his uros are of the finest quality and in great shape

@Pakinjak: congrats for the hatchlings! I did produce some last year as well, this is an exciting moment when they hatch, I could not agree more!

How about an update on your New Year's hatchlings? So there is a third one now too?

Oh yeah, there's a third one and I have five more eggs cooking. I'll try to get some more pics of the first clutch soon. I was very surprised when this last one hatched out how much bigger the first clutch is now... probably 50% longer.

Sounds as if all 3 are doing quite well

That would be awesome. He is in Canada is he? Gosh they are so hard to come by here.

Here ya go, just for you-

The New Years clutch. The second one pictured was born first and the first one pictured was born second. I can tell by the three dots on the head of the second picture.

And then there's the recent hatchling again after a few days.

The most recent animal is 69mm or 2.75" long. The clutch born New Years is 95mm or 3.75" long. I've read they grow fast, but that's faster than I expected. Also, I'm thinking the first two are males and the third one is female and would like experienced opinions on that. AND by experienced, I mean people who have hatched henkeli and have raised their animals up and can attest to whether my animals pattern indicates sex or not.

Thanks for looking everybody.
