Breeding info published for Spilotes

[LdyDrgn]

ok, I finally broke down and added the breeding information to the care sheet on our website. It will constantly be a work in progress as each year goes by and I continue to learn more about their habits.

ENJOY!

Awesome, Adam... I do hope it helps all those who want to breed them. They are beautiful snakes and a true joy to work with.

Geat info! Those are one of my fav colubrids. I rarly see any for sale up here in Canada. Does anyone know of anyone who is breeding them or has any for sale up here(in ontario would be best)? Are they easy to import from the states? Thanks, Carlos

[LdyDrgn]

Thank you!

Since they are not CITES listed all that would be required is an inspection of the animals and paperwork signed by the officials. I believe it costs in the vicinity of $50 to have the animals inspected upon importation. Donnie and I have been considering making the drive if we could get enough interest. We wouldn't do it for a pair, but we would do it if we could get two entire clutches spoken for.

We would need someone trustworthy in Toronto that could possibly meet us in London to take the snakes and distribute them to all who have paid for them.

It would be a great undertaking, and not possible until next year. Good news is: we may be acquiring another adult pair so unrelated pairs could be sold. This pair will be an 'indefinite breeding loan' so naturally the owners would get first dibs on all offspring.

I would like nothing more than to see some CBB specimens up there for everyone who wants them.

I agree that it would be very nice to see some cbb tigers up here. I know quite a few people that would be intrested in purchasing some, but like I said they are hard to find up here. I'll spread the word around and give them your webpage address. I have a couple on display at my worplace but my boss will not sell them to me!!! What a tease!

[LdyDrgn]

Is he hoping to breed them and that is why he won't sell them, maybe?

[csolis]

No, he is not breeding them, we have two males there, but he wants to use them in a display when our faciltity moves to a larger location this fall. He did mention that he has a friend that might be willing to sell an adult trio(1.2), got my fingers crossed! Carlos

[LdyDrgn]

Awesome, I wish you two luck with them!

I forgot to ask him haha. Ill ask him if they're still available on sunday when I go with him.
