I have not posted here before, but I do read from time to time.
Cyclura nubila is a great species. They are as beautiful and colorful as any other Cyclura species. Unfortunately, many of the animals offered as Cubans are not, but are hybrids between hybrid cayman and nubila nubila. This mistake is not the most atractive animal. Purebred nubila have a short snout, almost beaklike,with a slight downturn. They often have beautiful light tan base color, with strong contrast black and brown chevrons.
They are not super breeders. The most eggs I have ever had from a mature pure female was 16. I have been breeding them since 1987, most of my 3 or 4 generation females would lay clutches of 7-12.
There are some good photos of this species on one your posters website. They are magnificent! Be careful what you buy.
They also tend to be the Cyclura that gets the most mellow.
Happy New Year. Peace

You produce the finest Cyclura I've seen and owned! Your Cubans are so colorful and your Rhinos are prehistoric, but the most spectacular animal I've acquired from you is a male Lewisi hybrid. Looks 100%!!!
