I didnt know there are Beardies from Germany?

Love to see the pics or is it a scam?
Jason

 

[diamond_python]

I have just emailed this moron. Lets see if I get a repsonse

 

[Mcdowelli]

There is a form of beardies that was bred in Germany. They are larger and stockier than normal vitticeps. As far as I am aware they have not been bred in Australia, and even if they were they wouldn't be called 'German Giants'. My guess is that this guy is just trying to sell some beardies that have been powerfed or that are larger than average size for the age.

 

[diamond_python]

Well if I get some pics or a repsonse, at least we wil have an idea of what he is on about

 

[moosenoose]

You guys have it so wrong!!! :shock: It's simply like that woman who was trying to get that poor beaver shaved on Ebay! Same thing really :lol: :lol:

I will email too and see what i get.

 

[rodentrancher]

I know this guy - well have sent him rats and spoken to him on the phone.

 

[Magpie]

Aren't German giants Vitties X'd with Barbattas?

 

[geckodan]

These were also for sale on Herpshop a while back. They are not the "true" german giant but an Australian version along the same lines. Big ugly brutes with no colour and little to impress other than the fact that they are HUGE (bigger than an adult male frilly). So, yes it is serious and such a beast exists. Judy, do you still have pics in your archives somewhere about Christmas time.??

 

[peterescue]

So its false representation again.

 

[instar]

LOL, anyone get an email reply from the penny turtle guy?
He never responded for some reason. :twisted: :lol:

 

[geckodan]

So its false representation again

Yes and No. They are not "german" giants but they are "Aussie" giants. They are still terribly ugly regardless.
.

 

[Retic]

They are obviously unlike German giants then, the ones I saw in the UK were fabulous looking animals, as big as water dragons, certainly not ugly in the least and wonderful colours.

 

[Retic]

I just read up on them and apparently they are a result of careful breeding for size and colour and are NOT a cross between the 2, they are Vitticeps and are not inbred. They are certainly spectacular dragons in the flesh and some of the colours they have achieved have to be seen to be believed.

 

[trader]

Judy, do you still have pics in your archives somewhere about Christmas time.??

Here you go geckodan. It was an ad that went up on the listings Jan 25th.

 

[Reptilegirl]

JMO, but i like the looks of them how old do you think the smaller ones are?? how much do you think one would go for??
