I don’t know if mine are full grown? They are capra size for now.
I am sorry but I will never post photos of rare or hard to get species, I got my lesson long ago with varanids. I once owned 11 un described varanids, posting about some of them created a demand from the pet trade, then the science community got involved, then named them as new specie, this led to a total ban of export.
At present I own a few un described dragons, and no dough there will be more to come, in fact I am leaving for the Salomon islands on a collecting trip (hypsilurus ssp)
This is my life interest, That’s what I do collecting and studying reptiles.
I strongly advise you to keep your treasure pet for your personal enjoyment, Iv seen the devastation that overzealous collectors have don in the past, iv also seen the nonsense race to nomenclature and its negatives.
My passion for these animals is such that I refuse to be part of there commercialisation, I only post about the common already imported species, and this only if I think they won’t suffer from it.
Sorry I hope you understand.
Ps. One last thing! Never posted photos of babies of any specie and never will, every time someone those there’s a bloom of demands at dealers. But hey that just me!
