Nephrurus wheeleri?

[PhilK]

Well yeah, what's the information on these guys? Anybody keep them? Are they common? Care requirements etc etc?

I'd never heard of them 'til today!

 

[Lozza]

Nope not common in captivity.
If they were I'd definitely get some, I love them
*If anyone does breed them - I want some*

 

[geckodan]

Very rare in this country. Only a couple of keepers.

 

[Gecko :)]

Lol, . I too would Loooove some!!
If you do manage to track some down, expect them to sell for a few thousand,.

 

[PhilK]

Woah a few thousand?! Why so rare?

 

[Twiggz]

Why so rare?
From what i've heard they haven't been adapting well to captive conditions, and low stocks as well i guess.

 

[Kratos]

Yea i want some, but nobody seems to keep them

 

[PremierPythons]

Woah a few thousand?! Why so rare?

Because the authorities won't give anyone a license to collect them. Someone tried a few years back but then word got it and everyone wanted to do it, so they ended up saying no to everybody unfortunately... Or so the story goes... ;P

 

[Jonno from ERD]

From what I've heard, an old adult pair sold to a keeper with lots of money and very little sense in Sydney for about $5000.
