some hatching shots - part 2
The babies are really tiny when they first come out, but are huge compared to the size of the egg.
It's hard to believe they fit into such a small egg
This was the first one I'd ever hatched
Here's the adult male and the same baby. The photo was taken a long time ago, so the adult male is quite a bit bigger now (as is the baby, of course) but you get an idea of the size difference between adult and baby
I used to get updates from the keeper that bought that baby - here's a photo he sent me four years ago of the same animal.

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1
How big of an enclosure would I need for a lace?

Minimum 8' x 8' x 4' in my opinion. Not many in Canada, though. One in private hands that I know of.

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1
I'm thrilled you shared these pictures! I especially like the sire and baby picture, although he's probably wondering if he could eat it.

They're pretty Machiavellian, like cats. Friendly if there's something in it for them. My pair are pretty good - I can walk up to them and lift them up, move them around without an issue. Crazy at feed time, though, so it's best not to confuse handling with feeding. Once they get into food mode, all bets are off.

My pair are almost 12 years old but still very young (and damn they can put on a turn of speed at feed time!). I've seen captives older than 35 years old and know of a wild one that's probably around that age or older, too. I suspect they can live to over 40. A good friend of mine has a male that's now 27 years old and to look at it you couldn't tell it was any older than my pair. It, too, moves phenomenally quickly at feed time.

LOL - too funny. I hadn't even noticed your signature and had a assumed, being a moderator on a Canadian forum, that you were a Canuck.

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1
I imagine the fact I have an account at Reptiles Canada didn't help with the confusion either.
I can be in Canada in about 90 minutes.
Just for giggles, I looked on KS classifieds, no lacies for sale today.

Re: A few photographs of my critters - part 1
It's been a while since anyone has bred them stateside. I know of a couple of people that are trying.
