Hello all. First a little intro to me and my uros. Not really new to uros. Have bred maliensis and have kept just about all types of uros available with pretty good success. I have had problems with Morroccans though. About 10 years ago when they first started coming back into the US from the UK I purchased about 30 or so babies and had very good luck raising them to subadult size but the problems started when trying to pair them up. The animals were very skittish to begin with and very agressive to me, biting and tail whipping visciously. I could not pair any up without them trying to kill one another. I finally got so frustrated I just gave up on them. Well about six months ago I got a beautiful pair from John Castellanos that had been raised together since babies and they are somewhat tame but have grown a but skittish. I can hold them without tail whipping and biting but they really try to get away and of late run and hide when I enter the room. I do not socialize that much with them. I have noticed Hugh Holman says acanths are very tame. How much interaction do you have with them in order that they become tame and so they do not bolt everytime someone enters the room? I have really made a commitment to stick with this pair. To me they are the most beautiful of the uros. You all have some very beautiful animals(Hugh, PhilMc and others that have posted). Anyway and help and suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks again Tom Greb
