Wow! Those are the cutest little things ever! How big was the clutch? Any pictures of the parents?

[BOOGY]

Hey that boomslang has legs!!!!

They are stunning! How big do they get?

Now that is not something that happens often. Pat yourself on the back.

[BOOGY]

Are they difficult to breed then B.V?

[Bushviper]

Boogy they are difficult to just keep alive. Once you know how and have captive bred animals it is a lot easier. 10 years ago very few even survived in captivity. They are stunning animals and are more like squirrels than leguaans. Active, climbing, jumping, swimming jewels.

I saw some captive bred ones in the US and they were close to $1000 each as sub adults. I could only find males at that time.

Nice ubb

Post us some more pics when you can.

Can you also include something to compare the size to? or how big are they?

[uncutdiamonds]

Looks like a Bosc monitor, just the coloring is different.

What makes it so difficult to keep them in captivity?

Man that is awesome !WELL DONE !!!
If you do post any pics please include some of your adults...I would love to see them !
p.s are you going to make any of the babies available ?I'm sure they'll sell regardless of the price haha...

[Iggy]

congratulations, they are stunning! Hope they start to become available more readily now that someone is breeding!

Now that is an achievement. I se o.d what BV has said. They are one of the harder species to keep alive, let alone breed. Some forum members really have to research a topic before they post. Its nothing like a bosc monitor.
