Hi there, Congrats so glad she laid ok for you:) Ive kept & bred this species myself losing my last male a couple of months ago he was just over 2 yrs a very sad day. My female laid 9 clutches in total averaging 1 clutch of 4 every month. 4 clutches were laid even after my male passed away all...

Hi Tiff, Gorgeous pics as always , Monty is such a preety boy i love the bluish hue he has with the green, my Toby is a yellow/green in colour, cant remember him being different when he was younger. Youve done fantastic with him! Heatherxxx

Hi Tiff, So sorry to here about Amy, looks like fluid to me i think if they have a chest infection this can cause fluid build up affecting the eyes but think this also affects the sinuses too. Is there no other experienced reptile vets that you know that might perhaps let you email over a pic...

Thats Brilliant news Tiff, can imagine how relieved you must be feeling! Well done for noticing the problem so quickly and acting on it! Amy couldnt ask for a better mum! & dear Monty of course! Heatherxxx

He looks so good Tiff, Def a Monty now cant believe how much his horns have grown in the last couple of weeks! Heatherxxx

Hi Tiff, So glad Monty is doing so well he looks adorable in the pics, the rainbow one is beautiful. Pleased to here he has gained some weight for you im not sure if Tulisa has as my scales arnt that accurate under 5gr lol. Its been 2yrs since Nina was that tiny forgoten how slowly they do...

Hi there, When my female Cristatus was gravid she went the exact same colour as your girl, she was worrying me a lot as she seemed very unsettled trying to find a place to lay at least a week i think. In the end i totally covered over the front of her viv & she finally laid in a plant pot with...

Hi Tiff, i feed my adult flies on a mix of crushed fruit mainly banana & nectarine, skimmed milk powder & a tiny pinch of calcium powder if you put them in the fridge before feeding it will slow them down so you dont get so many escapees lol. Ive never fed wild flies i know they are supposed to...

nei everyone, Im over the moon as ive 4 new baby Acuminatus that are are now 10 days old so pleased as I sadly lost mum not realising that she had laid 2 clutches at the time. Hope im not tempting fate but they seem to be doing well munching on pinheads & springtails!:) Im so confused thou as...

Hi Tom, thats fantastic news what great success youre having with this species can imagine how delighted you must be theyre so adorable! Better news with there being equal amounts of males to females this time did you carry on incubating this clutch at the higher temps? All the best with them...

Hi Laurie, as I thought lovely pics:) they are both so preety, looks like youre doing fantastic with them all the best with the breeding theyre fab little chams! Heatherxxx

Hi Laurie, Im sure your pics are lovely will have a look. Is this the first time that youve kept Tavs? I only have Bobby never been lucky enough to find him a girlfriend its a shame as I would love to have babies too. Heatherxxx

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. Bobby was an adult when I bought him with with preety big horns then so think he must be at least 4 1/2 yrs old. Worry how much longer I will have him sometimes as Id heard that theyre not that long lived. Couldnt bear the thought of him not being around:(...

Hi everyone thought Id share a few pics of my lovely little boy, he is a Kinyongia Tavetanum which are normally a very shy species, not Bobby thou he is so outgoing & laid back even eats from my fingers when he is out of his viv! Ive had him for nearly 3yrs now & love him to bits! Hope you...

Hi Bradley, I keep both species the only difference really is that the Kenyans (Kerstenii) can take it a bit warmer than the Brevs. They are both hardy species if you can get CB. All the best with them Heatherxxx

Im so sorry to here about your poor girl as well its so hard when things dont go as they should, was she a Yemen I know it can be so difficult with them even if not mated! Mr girl was a pygmy only a couple of inches in length the eggs looked good she just held on to them too long. Ive 2 other...

Thankyou Phil for your kind words just wish I new why she wouldnt lay! Thanks as well Tiff, there gestation should only be 5 to 8 weeks normally from what ive read with a max of 4 months in one case so she was way over due so this is why they were so developed I think, wasnt expecting this...

Hi everyone I sadly lost my female R.nchisiensis 11 days ago after failing to lay her eggs she had been gravid for approx 6 1/2 months I tried various different adjustments with temps, humidity etc to no avail she died in the night I was gutted! I found her in the morning & decided to try & save...

Hi Kara, sorry to here about your little girl, Ive kept a fair few pygmy species not Temporalis thou. She does sound like she may be a little stressed or cold, I think 65 degrees would be fine at night a bit low for daytime thou approx 68 to 73 would be better from what Ive read. Do you think...

Hi there, Im sorry but i dont know the answer to this as ive never had it happen with any of my pygmies. Has her colour darkened any more if so she probably has sadly passed. Im sure its nothing you could have avoided as your husbandry sounds good. she may have been preety old when you got her...
