These guys don't seem to get a mention much. What do people think of these carpets? Are they placid or nasty generally? Do they cost much to buy?
Thx |

They are only available in WA. |

A year or two ago URS had a few of differents sizes and someone else had a heap for sale, from adult pairs to juvis. That was the first and last time i saw a large amount of them for sale.
I think from memory the adult pairs were selling for around $1500-$1700 and juvis were $400, sub adults were somewhere in between.

|  | Sdaji Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-04 Location: Victoria | | | | A couple of pet shops in Melbourne have them at the moment (which you may be interested in, if unlike me you are able to buy stuff from them). A friend of mine asked me if I was interested in his a couple of days ago, I wasn't so I didn't find anything out about it but if you PM me your details I'll pass them on if he is wanting to sell (and is willing to send them interstate). The ones I've seen have all been tame. They're distinctly different from other carpets but aren't particularly special, or at least I don't find them to be.

Are they generally a well mannered species, or are they like most, there are good one's and bad one's.
I have heard that even wild un's are pretty placid and acclimatise to captivity well, is this true in your opinion?
