Some have been exported from KZN as captive bred but I somehow do not believe that. Either way it may be possible as many are being exported to the US. I will look to find out who the person is.

Anery is a recessive gene so your female would have to be het anery as well. Amongst the babies there would thus also be ghosts (hypo/aneries) and I dont see any. I think they are just dark babies.

What exactly do you need education on. We have snake id and snake bite courses quite regularly and also husbandry course covering the keeping of any reptiles. Keep your eye on the forum and they will pop up from time to time.

Day geckos in the form of Lygodactylus capensis are usually prolific as can be House geckos which are an introduced species.

If that black gene does kick in you can sell these as a poor mans Boelens python. I know I want some this year.

Yeah keeping them inside is not going to end well for you. They need direct sunlight and will slowly deteriorate.

Buy a bearded dragon and keep that as a pet and just leave the Agamas free in the wild.

Even bad photos are great to see this time of year.

Probably a fungus. I would add a saline solution to the water if it happens again. Make sure you do not use the same nets for the other tanks or else you will lose them all.

If the frogs could make it all the way to your pool then the chances are good the local vlei will be suitable for them as soon as they are ready to go.

Nope protected species would require a permit as well. You cannot go trade in Rhino horn of cheetah skins but once something like a crocodile has been "processed" then permits are only required when they are exported. Exactly what "processed" means is open to interpretation.

That means you can get a job more easily if that is something that might interest you. This time there will be some new equipment that will be showcas...

THA meeting August 28th 2015 Tonight there will be THA meeting as usual. The skype interview we had planned fell through suddenly. We will be having video night as well as a Q&A session. It will still be well worth it. See this thread for a map to get there. Tukkies University. viewtopic.php?f=2...

Crocodiles are a protected species so you need to make sure you get receipts for the animal in question. Some of the croc farms have the occasional specimen that dies and then you can get this. The ones that are slaughtered will not make a decent specimen due to injury of the bones/skull.

Westley if it was a hypo it would not have the black eye. Hypo snakes usually have a lighter coloured eye. If you look at leucistic Retics for example then you see they can have a reasonable amount of colour and speckling on them as well (Ivory and Ultra ivory). Some of the leucistic ball pythons al...

I would not want to take a bite from a specimen that size. It is very heavy (thick set) for such a slender species. I guess being that size allows it to eat other prey not usually associated with Psammophis like Agamas and other large lizards.
