Hi Brad,

I'd be the breeder in Canada who's female died. From what I know of their history, they were collected as adults, and have been in captivity for a very long time. They are unrelated to anyone's. I hope I can aquire a female again soon to get my male's blood out there.

The female died eggbound. I had no idea she was even gravid at the time.

I'd produced 3 juveniles earlier. They were well over a month old and doing just awsome. The room they were in was cold, so I had them on a special plant heating pad (was never supposed to get to a certain temp) and I had it on a control to boot. It still overheated somehow and I lost all of the babies.

I agree that this species is not that hard to keep, but I've had a few strokes of bad luck.

Anyway, feel free to drop me a line if you want to chat about these guys. youkaiATshawDOTTca (sorry, don't need any spam...)
