I am super stoked. I have been trying to obtain this species for years. I always seemed to hear last that they had arrived or the ones available were knocking on death's door. I have wanted to work with them for the same reasons I work with the melleri. I feel like they don't last long after import. So, getting CB bloodlines established is a very big goal for me. Although these eggs are from a wild breeding, I am glad to have eggs, that when hatched, will offer more bloodline opportunities.

I have 3 pair right now. So I will keep some of the babies and expand!

Thanks!! This species needs more CB numbers in the states.

Actually, this species needs ANY captive-bred in The States. Same thing happens every time they import them. A few people hatch some clutches laid from imported females, they sell the babies or they die, and then they go no where...year after year after year after year. Hopefully you'll break the cycle.

Exactly!!!

That seems to be the commonality amongst imports. I sometimes feel like gravid females are purchased just for the eggs they have instead of the potential they offer down the line. I am hoping to break that cycle.
