snakehunter, the pic Womas supplied was of one of John Weigels young that he bred. John transferred some young to WA for CALM to raise and breed. Hopefully one day they will be common in captivity, specially with the sucsess John is having with breeding them. Hes doing an amazing job at it.

New bloodlines are definitely needed as the ones in Broome are brother and sister.

Dont know whether link will work but looks like the americans already have some rough scaled. I dont know whether they were a legal trade or poached. Interesting if anyone knew?

RE: Re: RE: Roughy

Stevo, Yes you are correct. Roughies are now legally in the USA. John Weigel just imformed me that some hatchlings were legally exported to the USA for zoo exhibats only. The Aussie Govt stipulated there was to be no commercial trade with the Roughies in the USA
