Things have been a little slow around here so I figured I'd post some pics of this pair I have. I really hope they breed next spring, you don't see too many of these in the hobby. These are Jefferson Parish, LA locality.

Very cool Dave. You are right because I have not seen many photos of amaura. I like the dark black head for contrast on the second animal. What is their normal adult size?

Hey Joe,
That female I posted is the largest one I have seen from this locality out of a handful of males and females that I saw. She's maybe 2 feet? they don't get huge that's for sure!!

thanks - I hope to produce some babies this spring. they didn't go for me last year, I am thinking the male was too small. It would be nice to have some locality amaura more common in the hobby.
