Pareodura Masobe Prices?

SuperLizard · #1 03-18-2009, 03:05 PM

Hi guys,
I am really interested in buying a captive-bred pair of P. masobe, and I was wondering what the price range is for this species. Thanks for all of your help. I'm REALLY hoping they are in my price range.

I'm sure prices will vary, but last time I saw a pair for sale in the US they were 1200 for th pair.

$1,000-$1,500

I have the opposite opinion. Why are they so cheap? While I do not have them YET, they seem to be an amazing animal, and fairly rare to boot. Many animals that are as rare as them sell for twice the price.

I'm not sure about handling them, but not all animals are meant to be handled. I have Rhacodactylus for handling.

I won't be selling mine that cheap. Not only are they rare, they aren't huge producers nor fast producers. They have quite a long incubation time. Market value on these in the US is going to increase I think before it decreases. I count myself lucky to be among the few here in the US that do have good cbb masobe to work with. I'll be in no hurry to get rid of the babies.

Same here, speaking of which, just got my first clutch last night. One looks infertile, the other I'm on the fence about, but its a start none-the-less

Congrats Derek! That's fantastic. Hopfully the one is fertile. Then comes the loooong wait for incubation!

Speaking of breeding projects, how's your felinus coming? Any eggs yet?

Thanks, the felinus seem to be finally coming around. My Cameron Highlands female just laid a single dud egg, which is atleast something as I saw them mate like this past November and so its good to finally see something is happening.

My silver eye female is really gravid, hoping they are good, as she should lay them any ole day now I'd imagine.

Got some good C. elok eggs on the ground though as well as E. viellardi and a number of other species. A lot of australian leaftails are gravid too so I'm excited

Thanks Derek
