My friend decided unexpectedly to give me the big guy.:)
So for those who wanted a pic showing his size I took some before putting him in his temp housing(no one freak out, I intend to get him a big Reptarium soon).
I think I was a bit large in my size estimate, he looks around 2 foot not...
Yeah, there is no way I can get this house to 69 except in the winter, and the heat gets turned on when that cold!:)
BTW, what montanes do not need it cooler?
I'm curious, your website says to keep these guys cool with a nightime drop. How are you managing that here in South Florida???

Perhaps it is buried somewhere and I missed...
As long as you are not a "high horse" guy, you are OK then.;)
Trust me, I am nowhere near a Cham expert, but I keep other herps and the anti WC crusaders annoy.....
Do people really do this? Not a very progressive attitude toward people trying to increase a knowledge base or even save animals(for those more emo).
EVERY SINGLE cb animal in the Cham and herp hobby comes from, and every "cb only" keeper should give thanks, to those old timers who were...
It is not that hard to navigate most the German sites, for example:
