Hemitheconyx taylori new pair

[Nicolas]

Some pics of my fresh imported new pair. Crazy to see how fat is the female.

Both already accept crickets from the hand without force feeding.

Amazing... I love taylori for the shape of the head...

 

[Riverside Reptiles]

Very nice. They look good and healthy too.

 

[Ira]

They do look great. Congrats on having them take crickets already! It's rare for them to change over so quickly isn't it??

 

[fickle]

They are around (in the US)

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

Really? ive never seen them for sale! who has them?

 

[danscantle]

Maybe just use the search function on the forum?

Guys in the hobby are rare, especially here in the US. Periodically some importers get in shipments of WC animals in the Summer. Generally they always die unless you have an ample amount of time to devote to them.

Very nice looking animals. These guys are on my "must have" list for sure. Congrats and good luck with them.

I'm with Ira, I've seen them a few times for sale. I've seen a few CB ones as well but I cant remember the price on them.

Hey man I'm game. . . just need the funds first lol.

 

[armali]

Nice pair ! Good to see the work on progress ! So maybe next year you'll have group big enough, with the other guys, to start a serious breeding project !

 

[Matty]

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I keep a few rare species. Noticed this thread and wondered where you found these guys? In the UK they are non existant!!

 

[Ira]

Welcome! Most keepers of H. taylori either go directly to get them, or have direct contact with the exporter. Definitely a prize in any collection but are very difficult to acclimate and thrive.

exporter

Hi

Matty, If you are interested in any of them, send me a PM.

@ Ira, I hope you are not talking of the ethiopian "exporter" as thats not where they are coming from ;-) and im not really a "exporter"

 

[Ira]

Hi Tom,
haha no I didn't necessarily mean you or the guy you talked about. I know of one company here in the US that seems to import some every year. Whenever i'd email them to see where they came from, they just tell me they have direct contact with the exporter in Africa. No country is named.

Tom, I'll take some of your taylori as well! lol

I still have 2 adult pairs left for the moment that are not reserved.
The rest I keep for myself ;-)
