Boyds....

[scorps]

I have mine in a 3 foot high, 2 foot wide and deep enclosure, theres a trio in there but there only yearlings, will be upgrading there enclosure soon,

Watterat, mine are feed a staple diet of woodies, (have like a cat bowl thing, one side water one side fluon painted) which I fill with woodies everysecond day, they are also fed the occasional cricket as well as grasshoppers (we get heaps of green ones around my house)

Mine are kept on coco peat but as previously said are fed out of a bowl, although I do forcep feed as well as throw large crickets in the enclosure for them to track down,

A great animal to keep imo, also pretty active. I dont have problem with humidity being in Cairns, they also get misted every second day (was more often when they where younger)

There is care information found on the Boyds Forest Dragon Information thread.

They do require UV but not alot, temps are alot lower than other dragons (23-28degrees ambient temp), no basking spot required.

i just have a uv fluro, and dont heat the tank, just ambient room tempreture

What sort of food variety do you offer them? A mate of mine keeps them in an outdoor enclosure here and we have been watching them picking large ants, earth worms as they come out during and after rain, he also throws in hawk moths, bush cockroaches and katydids, they are certainly not "specialists" when it comes to prey.

They definately are not too fussy when it comes to live food, mine are usually feed on crickets as a staple, I did have them on woodies for along while but became a pain to breed them and feed them. For variety they are given treats of small snails, earthworms, grasshoppers, christmas beetles, mealworms, and some moths. Also a pinky mouse every now and then for conditioning females during breeding. Basically what ever is available at the time and non harmful from around the our place. Termites can be used but only hand fed. Some also take small peices of fruit.

pretty rad looking dragons. whats the prices for some of these

They vary depending age and sex.

Starting around $150-$200each for hatchlings (cheaper in bulk, refer to my for sale thread for hatchlings for more info)

Good on you! That's the way to do it, variety enriches life. I used to look after a small colony at the Zoo, we had mercury-vapour light on every night outside the reptile house and collected and fed them most of the stuff we found there in the morning. They can get picky after while though.

Hahaha..yeah the good old bug zappers come in handy! ;-)

It really does improve there health and colours I've noticed. One female ate a cicada the other day, I let roam free in the enclosure but didn't get much of a chance to explore...

Ive bought 2 hatchlings from Mr Boyd about 6 weeks ago and they were and still are in perfect health. They are starting to show some great colours, they are getting a lot lighter and the black lines are becoming more defined every day. I really do recommend his hatchlings if your are looking at joining the Boyd community.

Just out of interest are any pics of the adults parents of mine?

Hey Aaron, great to hear they are doing well and your happy with them, I'm positive they will all turn out to be some amazing dragons with plenty of colour! The parents of your two hatchlings are in the first and third photo.

That's her! She has some really nice colours and stripes. (I'm not very good with the camera lol.)
