An Overdue Update 04/01/2011
Yes, it's time for an overdue update. We have a number of new things to report. First, we now have ten very fat and healthy Costa Rican Green & Black Auratus available at $45.00 each. These are exceptionally nice five month old juvenile frogs. We have been trying to augment our Leucomelas for breeding. I believe we had three adult female Leucs, which have been sold. I was able to locate seven adult Leucs, which seem to include at least two males. We have separated them into a group of three and a group of four. The group of three seems to have settled in to their new vivarium. They are generally out and there is calling. The other group however, has remained very shy. They stay hidden most of the time and no calling so far. We have high hopes for at least two breeding groups. I have saved the most exciting news for last. Our year old wild caught red Trivitattus have produced a large clutch of eggs. It is extremely unusual for captive Trivs to reproduce. There appear to be at least 25 viable eggs, all with tails showing. We will be keeping a very close eye on these and doing our best to raise them to juveniles. Hopefully they will be available for purchase in several months. I have never seen captive raised Trivs for sale anywhere. Finally, please stop by to see us April 30 and May 1 at the exposition center at the Raleigh State Fairgrounds for the Raleigh Exotic Animal and Reptile Show. There are many different types of animals available for sale and on exhibit. Also there is a flea market just outside the exposition center. So, please stop by our table and say hello. That's it for now. Jeff CommentsLeave a Reply | AuthorJeff Craig ArchivesMay 2012 CategoriesAll |
