[earthtiger]

#5:

[Lija]

Lol looking at waxies can never be boring!

That one is a question mark for me, it seems to be a boy, more pics?

Lol looking at waxies can never be boring!

esp. in real life!!!
...I have two tanks with P. sauvagii next to my office desk and have to pay attention, that I work and don't get lost staring at them! =;-)

That one is a question mark for me, it seems to be a boy, more pics?

#5 is a question mark for me too. I also tend to male, but I am not 100% sure. Will post more pix from different angles in the next days.

BTW, #4 is a male, not a girl.

[Lija]

No kidding, can u imagine how i feel to be able to look at pics now only i lost all mine last fall (( and cant get more from anywhere for 2 years now.

Are u sure 4 is a male, its head is very typical female, perhaps more pics too? Not just because i wanna be right lol i just love looking at them

[earthtiger]

And again another specimen - any suggestions?

#6

[Lija]

No questions here- it is a female.

[earthtiger]

Hi,

#4 and #6 have nuptial pads => these are my two 100% males!

[Lija]

Lol i'll be damned!

[earthtiger]

Hi,

in the meanwhile I am convinced, that specimen #3 is a female. In the last weeks - after the hibernation - her appetite is growing more and more and she is getting fatter and fatter. Some photos from this afternoon:







...soon I will put this and female #1 and male #4 and male #6 in the rainchamber...

[Lija]

Keep us updated on a progress, it is exciting!
She looks full of eggs, hope they will make it happen!

She did! ...and not only her!!

Tuesday morning 1st of July I put female #1 and female #3 together with two males in the rainchamber. Saturday (5th of July) afternoon female #1 spawned. In the following night - Saturday to Sunday - female #3 spawned. Now I am very nervous hoping that the eggs are fertile and will develop!

Congrats!!

Wow, Lisa. That's horrible Sorry for your loss.

I agree these guys never get boring to look at. And I'm guessing they are more active than a bicolor. My bicolor is active at around 1-3am so I don't even get to see him hop around. But he does keep me up croacking. Congrats on your eggs. Hope they are fertile. Are you located in Germany?

[Lija]

Wow! Congrats! Amazing! Keeping my fingers crossed for them to develop!

Daniel, thanks

Have you tried Sandfire Dragon Ranch. Recently they have offered some CB ones:

Congrats on double breeding ! Any updates on the eggs?

Hey Lija, Mike Novi breeds them and might be able to ship to your location. Will PM you his phone when I find his card .

[earthtiger]

There are a lot of visible eggs which don't develop, but few others do. But I can see only a fraction of the eggs => hopefully in the middle of the nest is a better ratio of fertilized eggs.

I will post photos later. Curently I have a hard disk crash and therefore can't edit any photos.

Are you located in Germany?

yes, I am from Germany.

[Lija]

Carlos he doesnt breed them anymore i know about sandfire, but cross order import is too complicated if to ship ( and super expensive, shipping 800$ with all licenses, etc), i usually drive to states if i need to bring something in, but it is not in a cards now unfortunately. I just hope they are going to breed them in a future too.

How are eggs doing?

[poison]

You sure Novy doesn't breed them anymore? I talked to some people that just picked some up from him at a previous expo.
