Re: Meet Julius - Timon Lepidus

Managed to get another half decent shot of Julius today. He's very active in his viv now I've gone bio.

Digs and forages for bugs and rests in hollows and burrows. Fascinating to watch his behaviour.

Just need to get the plants in which will be some point this week and then that'll be it until I move him in to a bigger viv some point early next year. Will then really go to town scaping it for him.

Re: Meet Julius - Timon Lepidus

Man, hes actually better off with you than in the wild! Thats the way it should be. i love the idea of him burrowing till his hearts content. i bet that is a big plus towards his quality of life in the terrarium. Thx.

Re: Meet Julius - Timon Lepidus

Thanks Albert.

I need to get a decent photo of the top of his body as his marks and colouration there are incredible.

I'm really pleased with his progression and he's got bags of character-really rewarding species. I'm not pushing handling him. He doesn't much care for it so I only pick him up if I have to but I think with time he'll tame up but I'm equally halt l happy if he stays the way he is.

I can't wait until we get him the bigger viv. I've got big ideas for it!

Thank you. He's coming on in leaps and bounds. Very active and full of personality.

He'll get much bigger still. Usually get to 2-2.5' Inc tail. Body around 12". He's around half that now and CB15 but I don't know exactly when in '15 he was born so don't know his exact age.

Lifespan can be 20+ if husbandry is good. Great species and because care is so similar to bearded dragons they are very easy to keep.

They don't seem that common and I don't know why not! Easy to keep, easy to breed buy all accounts.

Finally got a decent photo of him from above...

Re: Meet Julius - Timon Lepidus

I caught Julius mid shed yesterday and then almost done today. Just gets brighter every time. Love this guy-he's great!
