They were locked together (hopefully) for 17 minutes at which point he moved away and she looks like this.

I am very excited to share with all that the Johnstonii locked up today. I will start by sharing that it has been a tough road. The female came in gravid and struggled to lay. She dropped eggs throughout the cage and none of them were viable. I imagine that the timing on the import along...

Thanks for the replies all. The good news is that I have no desire to handle it (or chams for that matter). In this case it will be a display animals. Was fortunate to get it from a local breeder, so that is always nice. I will update as it matures!

Evening All, I do not handle or take her out of her cage very often, so when I do I try to grab some pics. So, here is Louise this evening. Thanks for letting me share!

Mike, I think you bring up the core issue in regards to time versus 'reward' in regards to breeding the uncommon species. I dont think it is neccesarily a money thing as most of these people are in it primarily for the effort and experience, but at the end of hte day, you do have to do...

I needed a hole in the head, but ya know, once an addict always an addict!!

There remain a significant number of species that are not bred in the US at all. I feel that as long as we as hobbyist respect CITES quotas and have the interest of the animals in mind, we can import WC animals will minimal impact on the WC populations. As mentioned above, I think you will...

So happy that all well and more importantly, you enjoy your animals!! Thanks again Ron!

So, here is my baby Masoala as I opened the tub when I got home to put him in cage... More pics in the next couple of days!

Just want to check in real quick as we wrap this up and Steve is putting on the final touches . The pictures do not do them justice and I can assure that they really are beautiful, vigorous, and very energetic the moment we put them in their cages. In addition, every animal was watered...

She is a normal 'Xanth' Jacksons. The coloration may be off for a number of reasons. Also, if it were a Meru, she would be a bit smaller and have a singular horn, additionally, a female j. jacksonii would have either 1 or 3 horns. HTH,

My Dubia sit on heat tape set at 115, so likely around 105 in the bottom of the container. Those temps are fine. Where in Texas are you, I may be able to set you up with a large starter colony. PM me if you want.

that'll be fine. Again the differential is key, not so much whether it is is 61 or 61.

As others have said: I keep my Merus at daytime temp of 75, basking of 82, nighttime of 61. The day/night differential is key.

Rosie is growing quickly!!

A big dripper on the end of a water hose.......:D

Thanks for the comments all. Craig, she came in gravid as most of them did and she really struggled with laying. Eventually got 6 eggs from her but they did not make it. That being said, she has come back from it very strongly and has been eating very aggressively and all looks well...

Evening all, Been a while since I have shared any pics, so I thought I would update. Thanks for looking!

I feed them to size appropriate Chams all the time. Just be aware they can, and will, climb out of feeder cups, etc..... Great feeders IMO

Actually you are incorrect if the genetics have been kept pure. Now you may have experienced this in the past, but if it was the case, then it means somewhere in the line that the truth was not told or known. If you breed a pure and known YBBB male with a female, you will not get random...
