WTB Egernia colony

[spongebob]

Hi,
I'm on the look out to get a colony (4 or 5) of Egernia's ie depressa,stokesii, hosmeri or cunninghams (New England form). A clutch brood would be a good way to start a colony but if any one has older individuals that live amicably together that would be fine too.

Anybody out there?

 

[Nephrurus]

Good luck on the depressa. I'm also after depressa... they are right up there with other animals i'm unlikely to get hold of...... Nephrurus wheeleri, Nephrurus vertebralis, Chameleon dragons, Oenpelli pythons.....

 

[Rocket]

Nephrurus, Vertibralis are NOT in captivity. If you get Wheeleri, let me Know!

 

[spongebob]

Yes I am only asking for those known to be available on licence in NSW. Still looking..........

 

[Basssman]

there are a fair few people with depressa now the problem is there small clutch size and the owners want to keep everything produced coz there so awsome, who can blame them LOL

cheers Sam

 

[Nephrurus]

Vertibralis are NOT in captivity

I know, hence "unlikely to get hold of!"

the owners want to keep everything produced

I know! It's infuriating!

All the best with the search Bob, I'll keep my ears to the ground for ya!

A big thankyou to Auslizardking and BIGBLUE. I'd love to have a look but Bikini Bottom is north of the border I'll bear these in mind though if I don't find anything closer. I've got a few leads but nothing definite yet

Hi Bob
Are these the 'New England' form of cunningham (colour wise ) that you are looking for? If so we may have babies soon.

 

[spongebob]

GARTHNFAY,
While I'm no expert they certainly look like the ones I've been researching-http://www.kingsnake.com/oz/lizards/skinks/ecunning.htm
I'll send you an email
Bob

 

[BIGBLUE]

They sure do look like New Englands to me, nice

 

[MrBredli]

Spongebob, there are 4 adult Cunningham's for sale on RDU, Snowy Mountains form, $400 the lot.

 

[spongebob]

MrBredli,
Thanks for the leg up. Yes Jason has some nice Snowy cunninghams, but I'm a fussy little vegimite and I only want the New England form
I have a couple of possibilities, but nothing in the "pit" yet
But this thread is becoming great fun, perhaps it's the chase (and all the assistance I'm getting ). Thanks guys.
Is there a record length for a "wanted thread"?

 

[ollieham]

the cunningham's are the way to go, just be carefull they are very aggressive and quick
