First off, the boys, CB 2008 from Chris Smith. They were supposed to be a pair. Oh well.


Photos from June 2011.

Little girl purchased from an expo in October 2010, photo from April 2011.

Here she is in June 2011.

…and with the boys, in my hand. She’s the palest one, on the right.

Early December 2011, I managed to find another little girl at the same expo (Hamburg). She chose me. I was poking through a bin of them and this one wrapped itself around my finger.

So that rounds out my 2.2. I think that’s a good group for now. Here they are early December.

Apologies for the crappy picture, but it shows scale. That fat cow is the female I got in 2010. I LOVE how dark the boys turned out.

Girls together.

And finally, the fatty….photo taken yesterday. Hopefully in another couple years I can make a pile more of these.

Great little group you've got there!

Cindy:
If your reference is that few individuals maintain the species, I believe that would be an accurate assessment.

But from a biological perspective ("not so common", generally speaking, the species is often quite common numerically in preferred / optimum habitats but simply seldom encountered and sometimes difficult to find due to the species' secretive nature.

More that few people actually keep them in private collections. I always love to see people finding something special in a fairly common, native species and also getting out of the normal box of keeping. It is why I prefer some of the species I do.

Plus I also think Amanda kinda kicks ass, but that is more on a personal note.
