Good habitat...
Are they reproductive??

[Giacomo-PG]

Thank you,

Now the supposed male is 30gr and the female is 31gr.
They are from the same bloodline,I will have to swap one when they will be full adult.

[markooij]

I hope in the future there is a possiblility to swap from animals for a different bloodline.
In 2011 there will be a meeting to talk about this and other things.

Mine two are not reproductive yet.

[Giacomo-PG]

So we will meet in December meeting.:)

Is your female shy?I have a very good male,very active and pretty tame,but the female basks only near den and she flees as she sees me.
Do you have any growing schedule for your specimens?

[markooij]

I have my two animals only recently.
Recently, I visited the chief of the tribe book.
He said that doubling of weight each year is normally the first year.
My growth plan would not correct for your animals.
There is a clear difference between my husband and my wife. My husband is less shy than my wife and probably exhibit the same behavior as your two animals.

We will meet each other most likely in December!
