Thanks MrG !

All the little ones are now in the blue so I'll give feeding a go as soon as they have shed.

Regards
Louis.

I took some pics last night while feeding these stunning little guys and thought I'd share them with you...

They are doing great and growing super-fast.

Nice going. I hope you have a decent supply of geckos.

Thanks Arno, fortunately I do have loads of frozen geckos so keeping these guys happy shouldn't be an issue.

Where do you get frozen geckos Eyelash?
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it’ll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it’s not even funny.

I usually collect some when I'm down in KZN or I collect them form fields with palisades around them (usually collect a couple from each spot and move on as not to impact the population negatively).

Exellent work here Louis. They are beauties. Are you planning to get them over to rodents?

Thanks guys !

MrG, That would be the plan as my adults are doing well on rodents. I'll keep updating this thread until they reach that stage.

Regards
Louis.
