Hey Absinthe,

Nice shot of the leaping Lacie!

These are the only two I own, but they'll do me (not literally I hope)!!

Maybe Serp will post some of his "Zebra" Lacie, that's a real stunner IMO.

 

[absinthe_616]

IV those pics are stunning! esp the first one the third!

where did you get your little guys from? im keen to start hunting around. theres a little juvie up for sale in NQLD, but i dont have the money RIGHT now >_< which sucks

whats their diet like? how often do you feed them?

and how big are you enclosures?

Thanks for the kind words,

Both are from crocdoc who often posts on this site. Check out some of his Lacie threads, I'd highly recommend him if your looking for some stunning Lacies and excellent advice. The Bell's, I believe, was originally bred by Matt Bonnett.

Both my animals started on chopped up adult mice and now eat mice, rats and Quail, with occasional insects and whole, raw chook eggs (which they swallow without breaking the shell). Only whole animals if possible, stay away from dogfood and meat. As juvies, they were fed on a daily basis and, as adults, two to three times a week, depending on how much is given at each feed.

As Juvies, 1200mm(L) x 1200mm (H) x 800mm (W) and the adults reside in a large, outdoor aviary. That's just what I do, but there's many available options with these guys.

A choice of great monitor IMO!

Cheers,

I.V.

thanks for that IV, i want to learn as much as i can about these guys before i get my hands on them, to give them the best possible captive life. i know about david, ive had a squizz at some of his stuff, he looks like the best choice, the only thing is that im in north QLD, n hes all the way in sydney :s
