When are the Amel's due in?
And will some be for sale?

hi Jas,
the amel fats are in, but I'm keeping them for breeding.
If you want some, I'm pretty sure Crystal Palace reptiles has some available.

hi Paul,

I've not heard anything like that about fat tails (leopards yes Sad

). There was a good breeding group in the Uk a while back that was producing good young in quantity but the guy sold off the adults to make space for other projects.

Can't give you any first hand info on fat tail breeding, but they appear to be consistant breeders but not quite as prolific. Also TDSD doesn't work very well with them, causing a big shortage of males. Husbandry wise, they need much more humdity but other than that they seem quite easy.
