Hello,
I'm just getting into reptiles and was hoping to get some advice. I was hoping to get some shinlgebacks and particularly like the 'goldfields' type. I've noticed they seem to be hard to come by and many are wild caught animals. I've spoken to a few people that I consider knowledgeable in keeping reptiles, and they say that the wild caught animals often do not breed in captivity and have a few problems with settling in. Whilst I am not sure about breeding currently, if I spend that much I want it to be on a healthy breedable shingle.
Has anyone else experienced similar things to this in regard to wild caught shinglebacks? Are there any other issues that I should be aware of?
Many thanks.
