this is Bob. CBB from Robyn at ProExotics. about 5½' in length is seems to be about to start another growth spurt. hoping he gets atleast 6'. he was an extra male that they had for breeding. i bought him almost 1yr ago and he was 3½' i have not weighed him in a long time. my tegu Taz is around 17lbs and Bob is a lot heavier. hoping Scotty gets atleast this big in one year.

he looks overweight to me. secondly, and i am probably wrong but that is a pretty feminine looking head on that boy.

he does have a small head. i can take a pic of his tail base. not to be gross, but his bulges are quite large. if it wasnt for them i would definitely think it was female though.

The head is a bit female in appearance but the tail says male in your pics. Of course hes overweight, and it does make it harder to tell. Did you purchase him from ProExotics or that guy that was selling 9 adults he said were "ProExotics excess breeding stock"? I remember the add and it makes me wonder if thats where those really came from because they sold all of their hatchlings in a month or so at most for $250 each.

got him straight from Robyn early July03. you can call him if you like. for awhile i didn't trust him enough to really let him out of his cage. but he has really calmed down, so i let him out everyday to walk around my house. he does very well and have had no problems. being in his cage for about 8months straight probably made him put on some weight. he was in a 8x4x4 hes now in a 12' though. for awhile i couldn't touch him or he would whip me, got me once on the forehead and knocked me clear out of his cage and had a horrible headache for about 6hrs. was no fun, now he justs sits there and i can get him out no problem wash the dirt off of him with the hose or give him a bath.

June, or around there. Bob was one of their imports, they call them farm raised or whatever. I really like ProExotics quality in animals, 2nd to none. Im guessing that makes Bob about or around 2 years old, Alex and Colby (another BT owners animals here) were a year older than Bob. Nice pattern.

well, he was sold to me as CB. you can take that up with Robyn.

He was an extra adult, so hes one of their babies. I recognized the pattern and color (dark outline black, with light background color, neat looking). The reason I mentioned it was the farmed animals they sold had the same background and colors.

we have uscb Albig stock from FR, and Rob Faust, as well as some of our own, and we also have farmed stock...

as the groups leveled out, we had over 15 adults, and that was just entirely too many, so i moved out a number of adults, they were just too many, there is no problem in that.

Matt got a sharp animal, not one of the "surplus" and it is definitely uscb, i would know : )

and while the body shape/belly has always been extremely round, it is not a very heavy animal. his nickname was "hockey puck" around the shop, but it is moreso body morphology, and not excess weight.

and it is definitely a hemipene dragging male

So the question still remains who produced this individual if it is true USCB. Since it was sold that way I would like to contact this individual so maybe I can get a True USCB.

many thanks

A Faust cross, which makes him 2.5 yrs old. I know FR doesnt deal with BTs, but has gorgeous banded WTs. Bobs pattern resembles your babies, the dark outline black pattern, and light colors in between. When were those babies hatched from you guys, I remember asking about them and they were all gone quickly?
