some pictures of my group : 3.6

you can see 2 quite different types of coloration

 

[armali]

the one on the top right (first pic ) look a bit different, is there a reason ? Does it comes from another area or something else ?

Anyway, nice as always.

 

[lemonjello]

Hmmm..... Are they different subspecies?

 

[PassPort]

one of my top 10 favorites.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

Amazing! Taylori are on my top 5 before I die. Are any cb?

[Matty]

Very cool! Love these guys. When my finances are a little better at the end of this year, then they will definately be in my collection

colouration

Those all were collected from the exact same location (within a radius of 10 miles), no subspecies are known to occur. They do slightly vary in colouration from grey to more chocolate brown but you get greyish and brownish ones all from the same place.

Are all of yours hunting and eating alone now Nic ?

I got all of mine (appart from one senile grumpy male) to eat alone off the forceps and most will actively hunt and chase after the crickets by now.

 

[Nicolas]

all are taking from the forceps or from the hand without any force feeding and all but one male are hunting.

I prefer to feed them with hand or forceps to better control the feeding.

Ok, it's been about four months...any updates?

 

[Nicolas]

all the animals are eating by themselves now and are in perfect condition.

I will start a cool period to stimulate breeding.

Update

Hi

Mine all are doing well so far, eating well and nice and fat.
I dont spend too much time watching them but this is the breeding season in nature so lets see what happens in the next weeks. I started misting them daily in the morning as its raining heavily since weeks where they are from in Somalia.

Nic, cooling them down a little bit is good (abour 5 degrees cooler than otherwise) but I think its the rains that start the breeding, so you maybe wanto try some more frequent misting aswell.

Happy that yours also are doing well.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

Wow. Its really cool that you guys are working with this species. I wish you guys the best luck and keep us updated! We seriously need more of these to be CB.

I can't wait for some CBs to make their wasy to the states, I'll snatch some of those up in a hurry. :biggrin:
