Thanks to y'all for posting pics of the mad hoggies---they make me go "AW-W-W-W.... I miss mine so much. Wonderful species.

rgds,
althea

I hope he doesn't look like that all of the time - the interstitials look like they are pretty stretched. He looks way overfed....

DD

No, he had just eaten 2 rats.

They look big. How big do they get? What temps do you guys maintain them @? What are they like personality-wise?

reako45

My biggest male is nudging 7 feet long, hes docile, doesnt mind being handled and is generally quite laid back, he is cb, so is one of my other females whos pretty much the same. The wc female on the other hand, doesnt bite but tries to get away and ALWAYS musks!!!! phew its real stinky too!!!!.
I have them in a 4x2x2 viv with 85 at the warm end.

You have some really nice animals dude.Do you breed your Mad. hogs?If so, could you please post pics of hatchlings? Thanks, Jeff

..great another herp on my wish list.. thanx..

LOL great pics!!

Roxanne

Thank you. Im trying to breed them!!! I have a friend who has bred them, treats them the same as a corn, but im too scared to cool them to 50f!!!! So far I havent had any sucess. I have bred the gaeyi's, and Im working on the modestus.....now that i finally have them eating!!!

Im going to cool them a bit lower, perhaps 60 this year, see what happens.

How is the potency of the big guys compared to the smaller american hogs? Has anyone known of an evenomation? How are their temperments typically? I have wanted to get a pair of these for a while but I don't like the idea taking a guy behind a table at a show at his word when money is involved. Then get the Spawn of Satan at home. Don't know why I never asked here, lol. Thanks guys!
