some questions to help me out?

reptilefreak101 Mar 06, 2005 10:08 AM

just some questions to help me pick from a sav or an argus.

1 is a 6 by 3 by 4 cage good for a adult male argus?
2 i keep hearing the tame argus is rare when i read care sheets, so doesthis mean that i can never hold it?
3 what would be better to start out with?baby or adult?
4 is a 30 breeder good for a bay for about like 2-4 mounths till im done building a cage for him?
5 how many time a week do they eat? bc i feed my rough neck 3 time a week with 5 hoppers and he is starting to get big like around the belly?
6 when i take them out side during the summer here in ny will he bult up a tree? bc i have my rough neck out sometime on a leash i no it aint a dog but just so he can go out side?
7 how much do they way bc im 15 turning 16 when i get him for my b day?
8 who is a good breeder that sells them that goes to the narbc show in pa, NERD i sent an eamil and they said that they bring babys to the shows, are they a good breeder to get them from?

thanks for all your help

1.A 6x3x4 cage is ok for an adult male argus,but id rather go with an 8x4x4.
2.You will still be able to hold an argus,it might be jumpy at
times though.As an argus matures it mellows down.
3.I would say baby,but its your choice.
4.A 30 gallon is good for about 4 months.
5.It depends on what size of argus you get.I feed my baby argus about 25 crickets daily and 4 fuzzys weekly.I would say 1 large adult mouse daliy,and 1 med-lrg rat weekly for an adult argus.
6.If you let him he might.
7.Ill say around 10-20lbs for a male,and about 7-10lbs for a female.
8.Yeah,NERD is a great breeder for all sorts of reptiles.
Hope I helped.Good Luck.reptileGOD.
