New and final addition! (I hope)

[smy_749]

Got another animal. Hopefully my last one. Rare earth female storri , proven and just started breeding so no tired out breeder nonsense. She is a stunner purple hue/red sides like my male so I'm excited about that. I did pay a bit mroe than you would normally for a storri, but its 1000% worth it for a proven sexed female. Here she is :)

Beautiful! Please put me on the "waiting to buy a baby" list. Seriously.

[SnoopySnake]

Wow! She is absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on the addition:)

[poison123]

She is beautiful!

After a quick google search on the species, there are 2 subspecies V.s.ocreatus and V.s.storri? What kind do you have? And what is the average price that these guys go for?

[smy_749]

They are all mixed honestly. Most people here call what we have V. s. storri but they are all mixed. If you look at true yellow ackies and true red ackies wild caught. Not all true reds are bright red like people consider them to be and shun those which aren't red as 'not pure'. Supposedly the V.s.storri are supposed to be the brown ones, and the colorful ones are the ocreatus, but nobody bothers to label them as such because we just aren't sure lol If we go by color, my female that I have now would be the only V.s.storri and the rest would be ocreatus I guess.

Prices are jumping all over the place with all the of odatria. At the beginning of this year they were almost 900 a pop I think. A few years ago they are 3-400. Right now they are 5-600 for hatchlings. I paid 1200 for my unproven pair, and proven pairs are 1500 if they are in good condition and don't beat on eachother. Single proven females I've seen anywhere from 5-800 in the past month. Wish I had jumped on the two I saw for 500 in october lol

You got it mate. You can have the 'somewhat local and fellow ssnakess member' discount if they produce. I need to sell most of the first clutch to make back some of what I put into the project.

She's a stunner! And she has quite the look in the photo :p

Last one hey? I've heard that before.... ;)

[smy_749]

Storri are the most infamous of the dwarfs for beating up and killing their cage mates. So I'm a bit hesitant to introduce another female but the killings aren't super common and if she doesn't get along I have another cage ready and I will just pair up the female that doesn't get along for breeding and separate again. Anyways, moral of the storri is a trio is as far as I would go with these. The 'look' in the photo really shows how 'female' her head looks haha

I see what you did there.


Nice acquisition!

[charliewilliams]

Looks great!!!

[Chris72]

Gorgeous!

:)

(Last one Sam? You will talk yourself out of that plan)

[smy_749]

Thanks guys. I'm hoping its the last one haha. I was planning to purchase a group of H.binoei (Parthenogenic monitor like geckos from Australia) but I couldn't locate any. Rare earth asked me if I was interested in some proven tristis, so I went to his facebook album and found the female storri instead. He took a few days to decide if he was going to sell her hahaha

Better IMO to get a trio than two pairs. Keep my focus in one area for now till I have some success I guess.

[sharthun]

Awesome addition! I bet this isn't the last! hehe:cool:

[LadyWraith]

Gorgeous. I also doubt this is your last addition. :blink:

[smy_749]

Last addition from 'out of pocket' cash is what I meant ofcourse :-P. If I hatch a first clutch they will be for sale, after that I won't be selling any if I can get trades for other species. I'm not lookin to get rich, just looking to have a rich collection of species. :)

[warehouse13fan]

[TheZoo]

[smy_749]

fedex delayed and its snowing outside. Noooooo

[smy_749]

The new female bit my smaller female twice so I took my smaller female out. Then she grabbed my male by the arm and deathrolled him so it looks like she is going to be a misbehaver. Had to setup the trough again and put her in it :-/ Stupid storri hahahaha
