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

evilelvis Aug 08, 2006 10:29 AM

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?

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!
