Thanks everyone.
As for breeding tips, i have been told by a big breeder of blackheads down here that they have to be at least 4 years of age, the males should be bigger than the female, so he is more assertive with her. dont know anything else, if i breed them in 6 months ill let you know more!
As for exporting reptiles, honestly i dont think it will happen, there has always been a lot of talk of allowing exports/imports, but i think Australia treasures our native fauna and flora too much.Wish they did though, i want some ball morphs, some bloods, some indonesian GTPS (aussie ones are way out of my price range at $6000 aud a pop non feeding), a burmese, lol the list goes on.Hope you are right Stav.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Aussieland will open up to exports someday, but I'm most definitely not holding my breath.
Those are insanely beautiful blackheads Mark. You are really lucky to have such incredible specimens in your collection.

Beautiful blackheads Mark! You're so lucky to have such a lovely pair. I cannot wait until I win the lottery and get a 1.1 pair.
