[jordo]

Nice, I've got to get me some of them *looks for "to get" list*

 

[hornet]

i'm suprised how little they are kept, the only info i found on keeping was a european site.

Hornet there is a breeder in Brisbane that breeds them every year, they look really nice.

nice, my first ever reptile was a pink tonghe

How similar are they to blue tongues?

 

[hornet]

they used to be in the same genus as you know, verysimilar apart from the fact they are quite arboreal, a longer, prehensile tail and a little more slender. oh and the pink tongue

 

[geckodan]

They are now officially a Cyclodomorphous. They differ from bluies in that they are heat sensitive, predominantly arboreal and have huge litters (mine had 23 last year) of very tiny babies.

 

[hornet]

what do you mean by heat sensitive?

 

[xander]

And they primarily eat snails.They have a tooth specially designed to crush the shell. My wild pink tongue had 32 babies last year!!!!!

wow there awsome

 

[jordo]

They are actually quite common in captivity, a few people I know have them.
Heat sensitive means they have a lower tolerance to heat so make sure they don't get overheated!

 

[hornet]

i know they aint rare, i actually thought there were as common as blueys but now i have been asking for info not many people seem to know much

 

[falconboy]

They spend a lot more time hiding under logs etc. Mine are rarely seen, I have them in a tub with a raised tile, sand with mulch on top, and a few sticks for climbing. Most of the time they are under the tile or bury themselves in the mulch.

Cute little things. Also they don't tend to tame up quite as well as blueys, from what I can tell.

I like them as they don't really need quite the 'care' of some other herps in the way of heat or UV (some might say no UV needed at all). Mine get put in front of the door with sun coming in for a few hours most days, and thats all they get in the way of sun and heat. If they don't want it, they can hide, if they want it, they can bask on their sticks.

[hornet]

do you breed the patternless ones? how much you sell them for?

 

[DA_GRIZ]

are they as good to handle as a bluey? and are they hard to keep

 

[hornet]

they are generally more aggressive but have had no probs with mine yet
