Here is a few pics of my female and babies, after a heavy misting and feeding.

They look great. I'm surprised more people don't work with these since they are so big, colorful, and easy to breed.

The Texas blues are pretty popular compared to most the spiny's. They are by far some of the easiest spiny's to get. I see them on wholesale lists all the time. I even see them on some high end breeders sites as projects. My Texas blues are pin raised out of Texas. I bought them last year and bought one female that was gravid. Although she birthed about a dozen babies, I didn't pull them out in time and the adults devoured them. I definitely learned from that mistake. It is looking like I may possibly have 3 gravid females this year. All three females are showing some sighn of swelling. Although I have not seen any copulation. Only time will tell, our fingures will be crossed. You seem to be a lizard enthusiest. What Spiny's do you have?

Thanks

I am working with the blue spinys, crevice, and granites (pictured). I am also looking at getting a few zoo surplus of some mexican scelops. I would also like to get my hands on some good looking S. clarki or S. magister but they are not that easy to come by. That just means I need to get off my tail and take a couple of field trips next year, not a bad thing.

This year I am working with Texas blue's, Yarrow's, Granite's, different local's of magister's, Plateu's, Emerald's, and locality specific western fence lizards. I have had good luck this season, here is what is gravid now... 3 Texas blue's, 2 Yarrow's, 1 Granite, 3 Plateu's,2 Western fence lizards, and maybe 1 of my Emerald's. I am trying to get a group of Crevice spiny's, the remaining Magister's I dont have, and next year I should be getting different Baja local's. I am doing all this for research for my book on Sceloporus, I am writing.If I have anything you need or are willing to trade for please drop me an email.

I would be very interested in babies especially Western. What is the one in the last picture called I have another lizard that looks just like that. I mistook it for a western when I first got them and have had it every since.
