Deleani and Vertebralis

[Nephrurus1]

N.deleani are indeed in captivity but from my understanding, the number of animals can be counted on one hand. Also, the one private owner I know of them, has old animals that will no longer breed. As I understand, keeping and breeding adults was not the difficult side of N.deleani, it was raising hatchlings. They proved weak that died around the 3-month mark, similar to some N.stellatus and N.laevissimus.

That is my understanding too.

I agree. Not much hope unless we move overseas!!

I appreciate your insight and knowledge on this matter Ryan, and will take your word on it. 2 yrs isn't too long to wait for the little guys from Pernatty!!

Nice to know thanks for your input Ryan

Thanks for the info. Its unfortunate that they wont be introduced soon, and its even more unfortunate that they are harder to keep. But I'm sure when deleani are introduced they'll carry a hefty price.
