now thats a different way of looking at it!! i just thought they grew that way naturally,which they sorta do, but with optimal conditions. i think if i get one this will be mandatory, as i really dont want it to get to full size in my parents house. id like to have my own place by then?? either that or i build him his own enclosure.
I read that niles can live to 30 years in the wild, do they just not make it in captivity , and is poor husbandry involved, or have their been some good successes with long lived healthy captive niles? i would hate to be the cause of the death of my "pet", altho it happens.
