Don't know how I missed this post for so long...

ubb :

You must be one of the luckiest mofo's in S.A...

Those are absolutely breathtaking, well done !

I've always been more of a lizard person than anything else and these are definitely up there close to number one on my bucket list... The macraei's also...

They must take up a lot of your time now huh ? Not really so much with caring, but with sitting and just looking at them...

I would probably lose a job over these guys... Get in late everyday and wanting to go home early to see them again...

Good luck with the other ones, hope they pull through too and the macraeis !

Really, well done !
I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other...

ubb I would also pay a hell of a lot of money for them and I don't even keep lizards (yet). If I were you I would charge quite a fair amount for them to keep the market going. You are the first guy I know of who breeds them, and they are harder to care for and breed which would also push the price up quite a bit. You can almost ask for any price you want to in my opinion as you are one of the, if not the only breeder in SA.

The good thing is that if they cost lots, the person buying them will look after them. Their setup needs to be spot on or you might as well hold on to them. Every captive bred generation does seem to adapt to captivity better.
