How much are Kimberleys these days?

Scott W · Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2005 3:09 pm Post subject:

around the £350 for babies.

Jas, not sure if you're interested but I am getting a few kimberlys from Canada, I will have 1 spare you can have it at COST that's if you wanted to add another blood line to your group.

PM me if you are and I'll let you know what it costs.

Can someone give me some advice on keeping these? Enclosure size for adult groups? Are the hatchlings sexually diamorphic? Ease of breeding?
I sound like a rookie! I would search the net, but it's late. lol

enclosure size, mine are kept in 3ft by 30" by 18" high vivs. I have seen others kept in much larger cages and others kept in much smaller cages.

They 'appear' to be very easy to breed if you have a sexed pair. They can be quite prolific too, laying 4 clutches or more in a year.

As for sexing, they need to be a good few months old before you can take a good guess on sexing.

I thought the viv size would've been bigger, but I had some they'd be in 4'x2'x2' vivariums. How many do you house together Scott? I know that Ray Hine breeds them, but does anyone else?

Other people have bred them, although not in quite the smae numbers as Ray. As for cage size, like I said I have seen them kept in much smaller cages than mine and have multi-clutched in these smaller vivs.

I keep mine in pairs or trios. I also have 2.0 together that are fine.
