>>They definatly have visual characteristics of both beauty and radiated rats. Have you seen pictures of the other subspecies (helena monticollaris). They are incredible looking. I've looked for some for years with no luck.
>>I just have the breeding pair of helena helena pictured in the middle photo I posted above right now. The babies in the top photo came from them this season. They have the coolest visual threat of any subspecies I've ever kept. Much like radiated rats. They will literally hold as much as almost half their body off the ground when threat gesturing.

Thanks for the info, Randy. Helena is a great species. I've never seen the other ssps in the U. S. before. I would jump on that given the chance.

That bimac in your post is neat too..

Do I see 7 eggs there, or was there more. I'm not sure what the largest clutch for bimaculata is? Good luck breeding those next season. Good luck with the helena too.

Happy New Year... Terry
