More and more c.b. every year. Still about $300.USD ea. as hatchlings. Imports are difficult at best to acclimate to captivity. They're often loaded w/ parasites and most die within 90 days of captivity. These are imports, however, and have gone through a lot of treatments. Female is a little thin yet, but male is very robust.Feeding well for w.c. Had 'em about 10 mos. Hoping they'll breed for me, but if they don't--well that's o.k. too!

I really like 'em too. I can't decide however, which phase I like best though. My male has a lot of red, the female does not. Anyway- they're killer looking to me! Thanks.

C.B. are much more docile than w.c. Mine are still pretty nervous. and the female decided a month ago she is gonna strike at me when I clean. You should see her! I don't like to stress them at all, but she is definetly aware of me and lets me know it. Less power than a corn, but ACCURATE! And the strike distance/accuracy is unbelievable. She's really a sweety though. Most are 3'-4' I'd say, but I have HEARD of a nearly 7'er. Now that would be impressive!
