thanks for the info guys. I really wanted marginated but it looks like they would have to be indoor torts (which I was afraid of) and they do get a little to big to be confined to a table their entire life. I know the red/yellow foots, sulcatas, burmese mountains (browns are great and I'm not sure if it stays humid enough for the blacks year round here), and for some people, leopards do really well here. I have several friends that breed sulcatas and redfoots very successfully locally and I can get cb animals from different bloodlines easily.



Now with that being said, I've been told by several different people that the brazilian cherry-heads are the least hardy of the locallity specific red-foots. Is this still true or was that just with the original imports?
