[Bryony]

Well you all know that i fell in love with ridge tail monitors.........
well i am making room for one now and was wondering when the next 'batch' of hatchlings are comming up?

Is anyone breeding them this year?

Hey Bryony,
Sorry I am not breeding ackies.

Ackies are capable of producing several clutches a year, and if kept in the right way, will breed year round. So you should be able to expect at least one clutch of ackies floating around within the next month. Also have you tried URS? They usually have them...and for good price!

Bryony get the best looking ackies you can find, they a like beardies now so anything nice stands out from the rest.
Theres some nice reds for sale on the herp trader, not sure if they are still avalible but definately worth a look.
As Brodie said they will be everywhere soon and you won't have any trouble getting normal ackies.

 

[Bryony]

ahhhhhh
damn hugsta look what you have done.....

i must admit i had been wanting ackies for ages until a couple of weeks ago when i got 4, and now i want a spencers monitor as they are awesome looking (only seen pics so far unfortunetly) oh i also had varanus gouldi for a while as well.

Spencers are big and ugly as adults

 

[NoOne]

Not all spencers are ugly as adults

from what i have seen they dont look too bad, i dont wanna go with what all my mates down here have which is lacey's and i want something diff, but not yet as i have commited myself to a hatchy pair of bhp's at the end of the year sometime.

 

[Guest]

Yes
hehe na, all the ones I have seen in the flesh as adults were disgusting looking, but I have seen some pics of nice ones in books. They look so cool as juvies though!!

Sorry Bryony!
Oh also, you could try Roy Pails, his are a bit expensive but would be good animals!! Probably worth the investment!

 

[Bryony]

roy pails have a website?
i get a bit confused with all of them

URS ( http://reptile.senet.com.au/price.htm ) is currently selling Spencers for $450

[Bryony]

[Magpie]

$350+ for ackies?
They'd want to be flourescent.

 

[Guest]

[Bryony]
