The only tip i'd give is don't buy one as an investment.

Awesome snakes they are, but thats a great tip...they seem to be dropping in price very quickly which is a shame

I heard that alll captive breds originate from only 3 wild caught specimins. That would be the price tag reason but are there any more wild ones being used since or are all of them a lil in bred now....

Dont know if its true but i've heard inbreeding in herps isnt as much of a problem, they can inbreed up to 9 generations before anything starts going wrong. Something like that i was told anyway not sure if its true.

I'm against inbreeding.


It hasn't been good in any species, why would It be different in herps?

i just recievd a pair on wednesday and i am in love i got them from ultimate reptile suppliers which has them on special 2 for $3000 and they have such a great temperment and are good feeders i will post pics of mine later but they will be appearing at the gladstone reptile expo 18/04/09 if any one wants to see them

Yes it's true, it has been shown many times overseas that inbreeding multiple generations has no deleterious affects. What applies to mammals DOES NOT apply to reptiles.

Absolutely! Would you like to do 'it' with your mum or sister?

 

[waruikazi]

Or worse... Your Nanna! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

 

[kupper]

damn it we cant keeo them in vic

I think the founder stock was closer to 10 or 12 unrelated animals and if managed well for the first couple of generations (which I have heard they were) then inbreeding probably isnt an issue with this species at the moment.
