Hi guys,

Just wanted to share a picture of my C. zebrata "guadalcanal" with you. This is an old picture taken at the breeders location. My pair is registered in the ESF studbook for this species (where I do my part in acquiring genetic material, literature and such). Hope you guys like them! :)

Hi,

Very nice Corucia! :) I got also a pair of C.zebrata and they are amazing lizards! Who is the breeder of them?

Very nice Traiq! I've always loved these guys. Back in my younger days these used to be imported here to the US in massive numbers and were considered cheap pet store animals much like iguanas. I wish I had picked some up back then. They cost a fortune here now.

Thanks guys! I got this pair from Heiko Kuehne. I remember the days that they were cheaper...sigh...but it is a good thing that the export from the Solomons Islands has stopped! :).

@ Tim: Do you have pictures of your Corucia's?

If only it could still be like that now. I regret so much not picking up a few.

Anyways, beautiful animals!

Hi Matthias,

I have bred this species once many years back. And yes it is fun to see the parents "care" for their young. My current animals are far to young to produce offspring them selves (CB 2005/2006) :).

Mikhail, post some pics of the babie. ;-)

Today I took some pics from my pair. It was feeding time and it’s really funny to watch them how they feed. :)

Prices in the US are around 500.00-1000.00 for a young, single animal.

For a pair, 1500.00-2500.00.

I remember when I'd go to the local pet store and they were 250.00 each:cry:.
