which if any rhac species can i keep together with out problems b/c i was wandering what i cood keep with a crestie w/o much trouble :banana:

 

[PassPort]

sarasinorum or chahoua, but if both end up male then you'll have some fights on your hands. you can keep aurics with them, but only if you don't mind having a crestie w/o a tail

 

[mikey]

You did mention wanting to keep two different Rhacs together but I have not personally heard of this being done successfully due to substantial size differences. Have you considered setting up a natural vivarium and throwing in a giant Millipede or two with your Crested? Those are cool if you like that sort of thing and have the added bonus of helping you clean your tank!

 

[PassPort]

i keep all of my unsexed ciliatus and sarasinorum of similar size together. baby aurics get their own tank b/c of the whole tail munching thing

 

[mh728]

There is some species of ground skink mentioned in the Rhac Book though, and it is supposed to do well with cresteds. Sorry I can't think of it off the top of my head. I think Giant millipedes would be a good idea too.

 

[Turtlestork]

Pink tongue skinks are said to be compatible due to their specialized diet. But you'll be forking out a butt load for one of them. I mean, not too much, but upwards of 200 bucks I think I saw them for.

The best rhac to keep with a crestie would be another crestie Unless both are male, and then that doesn't work either.

well thanx alot i dont think a millipede wood work with how i have my setup made

 

[fickle]

also another thing i was thinking of making a HUGE viv mabye naturalistic but i want to be able to keep cresteds and like sarasinorum togther but i dont know how big they get though

and trtlestock i like what ya said

 

[PassPort]

sarasins are on average an inch or two larger fully grown, but a lot of that is tail.

 

[mh728]

Saras get a little bigger, not as big as chahoua though.

 

[fickle]

thanx i thought they got a lil biggerbut how much do saras cost $$$$ or $

 

[jtmoney528]

thanx i thought they got a lil biggerbut how much do saras cost $$$$ or $

150 - 250$ for a hatchling

 

[PassPort]

sarasins can be longer than chahoua, but not nearly as big over all. my female sara is probably over 10" right now and she's only 2 years old. my male is 2 1/2 years old and if it wasn't for his regenerated tail I'd guess him at 10.5". sarasinorum don't really hit full size until about 3-5 years old, so mine will get bigger. I saw one that Repashy had that was about 12", a real monster.

 

[PassPort]

and I normally get $200 for my babies

 

[fickle]

wow thats a lil to rich for my blood

 

[mh728]

Lol, aurics are the only thing cheaper. I really wouldn't mix cresteds with them though.

 

[jtmoney528]

If its too cheap then do not put something else in the tank with them or get a giant African millipede. Depending on that auric it can be cheaper but if your looking for a really nice one then no its not cheaper than a Sara.

I believe the order for Rhacs in terms of size and GRAMS is:

Leachies > Trachies (greater than lesser) > Chahoua's > Sara's > Aurics > Ciliatus

 

[PassPort]

naw, a big female auric will trump a sara any day

 

[fickle]

i guess i will be happy with just cresties and cresties lol maybe a giant milipede too how much are those and does any one know how to take care of them

 

[mh728]

I'm pretty sure the millis are about 10-20 dollars. All you need is a natural setup (suitable for the crested) and to feed it some fruits/veggies. I hear they eat poop and CGD too.
