Picked up a young, male verrucosus at Houston Repticon 2day! Maybe 5-6 months old?? Will post pix after I get him home and settled in! :) (I think he's male, has pronounced spines...)

That's awesome! I was pulling for an Oustalet's but a Verrucosus is still a marvelous animal. Congratulations and yes post pics soon!!:D
 
The two ousties that I've seen this week were bigger than I wanted...I was looking for a younger one that I could watch grow.
 
This guy is smaller than I thought! He's in a 16x16x20 and he looked so much bigger in the deli cup... He is pretty cute!
 
Ok, ok! I promise I'll put some up by 2moro! Happy? :)
Good man. That's what I like to hear :D. But on a serious note I can understand waiting to not stressing him out. I don't know much about Verrucosus other than they are glorious chams, so I don't how they fair in captivity and with stress. Is he WC?
 
I would assume that he is WC but the two vendors that both had them either weren't sure or stated no... :/
 
Congrats on you verrucosus Maxttu! In my experience they're really shy... Try to give him some space the first week. Then let him get used to you slowly..

Thank you! Boy or girl, he's a handsome thing! I'll snap some pix later, feed him and that's it! I have dubia and picked up some calciworms yesterday. I can't believe that petco actually had calciworms! :)
 
I find calciworms ideal food. The worms but also the black soldier flies! They really love to eat both. Please post some pics! I'm really curious ;-)
