You're right....that was the Aussies only choice up until about 10 years ago. That's why I said keepers are just now starting to see the effects of feeding rodents to their BHPs over there. But, in general, BHPs will live a shorter life span on rodents and have more reproductive problems than they will on their natural diet....farmed rodents just speed it up several years.

Derek, so what is the natural diet of BHPs w/o having to google it myself? Also, are your prices more friendly than the 1250 that TNB encountered at the Hamburgh show?

Natural diet is other reptiles, with Womas and Fierce snakes (Tipans) being a favorite. haha. Frilled Lizards, bearded Dragons, skinks, etc.....all on the menu.

My prices for pairs start at 3050/3250 and go up from there. But, I'm all sold out this year already. I usually don't offer singles unless I have high ratios on either sex.
