Can anyone point me in the direction of a good care sheet on these guys? The only thing i can find on the net is a few sentences written by Goerdie Torr. Also if anyone is breeding them or knows of anyone who is, please let me know. Thanks!

Look up an angle head care sheet - pretty much the same basics, Boyds can get a bit hotter and are less 'sooky'.
Initial hatchling care is the hardest - quite hardy after that - once again you have the basics sorted.
Always best to have a 'practise' with angle heads before upgrading imo - they are different from a normal dragon. It aint rocket science though - just a bit of preparation.
Cheers

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-05 Location: SE QLD Gender: | | | | Correct agree with you ad. Getting some practise with Southern Angles does help. Boyds dont like the heat but love humidity. Be careful not to cook them!
I have caresheets for Angle heads if you need them?
Im after some more Boyds myself anyone got any for sale or know of anyone???
Regards

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-05 Location: North Queensland | | | | Heres a few pointers that may help you ....
Boyd's are most active early in the morning and late afternoons...
Think rainforest when setting up a boyd's enclosure (cool and moist); whether indoors or outdoors.
Provide plenty of up right perching; which they use to ambush prey; and sleep suppended from.
A early morning water mist spaying to replacate natural conditions; as well to stimulate early morning activity.
Repeat the mist spray later in the day if need be....
Provide a small basking area at one end of the enclosure (28-30)....cooler end (22-26)....ideal day time temps for healthy growth would be (24-29) IMO. If housed outdoors, provide plenty of potted plants for them to hide in, hunt , and act as moisture retention.....Potted plants within the enclosure should provide dappled light as if one was under the rainforest canopy....plenty of natural mulch and leaflitter as enclosure substraights work best.....Feed early in the mornings after mist spraying a diet of various inscects; with vitiman suppliments provided on a regular basis (dusting etc). IMO, diet variation and well simulated rainforest conditions is the key to successful breeding....eg prey such as; Spiders, moths and earth worms are excellent food source for conditioning. Care should be taken to avoid poisonous feed items...eg brightly coloured moths etc. Wild Boyd's are often encountered on the rainforest floor just prior dark hunting for worms etc.....
