looking for malagasy hog breeders

igordog Jun 04, 2005 01:58 PM

Does anyone know where one could get a CB giant malagasy hog? I feel like I've been looking everywhere with no success....

There are folks working with them. Every so often a CB baby pops up in the classifieds. However, the demand for malagasy hogs, at this point, is supplied by imports that are cheap to acquire. It is when indigenous populations of these snakes are over-collected to the point where supply does not satisfy demand that more folks will breed them. A sad but true reality.

regards,

I think my female is gravid, she hasnt eaten for a month and is huge, with serious attitude! My speckled madagascan eggs are now 6 weeks into incubation and looking good! Unfortunately, that wont help you, Im in the UK.

Well, if it all comes of and she lays good eggs, i have friends in the states, it may be possible to get some there.

Well, keep me in mind then, if she becomes a mama..... even if I get another before then, I'd likely be interested in getting one more.

What kind is it? Checkered? Speckeled? Brown/Blond?

I was referring to my giant female, i have speckled hognose eggs in the incubater!
