Last year I bred my Basin emeralds for the first time. I traded two of my offspring for unrelated animals. Must say I'm quite happy with the trade Very Happy

Both have a full thick stripe, which I like in my basins Cool

new male

new female

If you like emeralds, Basins are the way to go, better feeders, more robust and calmer then Guyana shield animals. Worth the extra money IMHO.

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with them, especially since I got the better part of the deal Laughing

Basins are very much calmer than Suriname emeralds. I still wouldn't put my hand in there at night, but during the day you can free handle them. Must say the size of their teeth still makes me apprehensive though Laughing

And cleaning the cage is no problem at all, no worries about aggression, if anything they'll hide their head when disturbed.
