I just cant stop....

So i was planning on picking up a red neo Wamena/Highlands X Highlands GTP that had a very good chance of becoming a high blue animal. But then i ran into a local breeder of Mexican Beaded Lizards who i had talked to about a year ago. He tells me his clutch of normal beaded are due to hatch any day and his small clutch of 'super black' beaded are due to hatch end of this month. So after talking half the night, he ended up offering me pick of the clutch when they hatch. Needless to say, I'm pretty darn excited and cant wait even if i have to drive about 5 hours to his place to pick out the lizard end of this month lol. And as an example, this is one of his holdbacks from last year's clutch. The yellow is falling off and it is getting that ominous black to it.

That is so cool! I’ve never seen these in person, but have seen photos and nature documentaries that included them. I can hardly wait to see your pictures and watch the progression. Truly a unique addition to your collection. Congratulations!

Beautiful lizzy, I can totally understand getting sidetracked. (assuming no legal issues where you are?)

Very cool, congratulations and best of luck. Really 😎!

Nope. They are legal here. Only things illegal are crocodilea, crocodile monitors and i believe water monitors. And of course any venomous snake. Kind of ironic that a venomous lizard is ok but not snakes. I guess its the fact that snakes can easily kill you with a bite where as gilas and beaded lizards will just make you wish you died unless you are allergic to their venom like a bee sting and then you could go into anaphylactic shock and die.

Dude...
Hell. Yes.
Awesome and congrats!

In that case, have at it. :D Actually some venomous snakes are likely to just "make you wish you died" too.

Haha, yeah i went crazy. The beaded isnt until end of this month or possibly beginning of next month as i am waiting for the clutch to hatch, then i gotta drive about 5 hours to the guys' house to pick out which one i want. So with this lizard, my childhood wish list will have been fulfilled and i can die content :P
