      @jackiedoesntcare 4 місяці тому

      I am curious why you left the original soil on the plants? I always clean mine off and use the reptile soil because the ones from the store have perlite in it, which is toxic. Were they purchased already in reptile safe soil? I think this is important to note for beginners.

  • @wraith1320
    @wraith1320 5 місяців тому

    Why is it that so few people breed them? It’s been done in zoological facilities, so we must know the what the correct conditions are… Why aren’t there more private breeders trying to produce them? Generally, people will pay a lot more for captive bred reptiles… Is the profit margin still just not enough incentive? Their wild population has been assessed as least concern, so it seems like a good time to import and establish a solid gene pool for a captive breeding population...
