Where are the black throats at???

Does anyone know what time of year hatch lings start to hit the market? Been looking everywhere but no one has them. Thought that this being spring and everything else hatching where are all these guys at?

I could very well be incorrect, but I believe that black throats hatch later in the year. I'm planning on picking one up when I get everything ready for one.

I have seen them in the KS classifieds.

You won't see any this year that aren't holdbacks from previous years, or smuggled illegally. Most BT's are from Tanzania - which recently banned the export of ALL animals from the country.

No one bred their blackthroats this year?

Dang i hope that someone here has bred them or is at least planning on breeding them this year. Ive seen a couple but they are all 4 foot plus and on the other side of the country. Guess i just got to keep lookin around. Hopefully ill come across one at the breeders expo this year.

Beside there being no imports it was my impression that breeding BT's is difficult.
You are right in that there are no babies out there as far as I have seen and the price for yearlings and others has gone up to in excess of $600.
Import babies if there are any coming out of countries bordering Tanzania won't be here until this fall. As you know, they are from the southern hemisphere and seasons are reversed. This is the beginning of winter below the equator.

I have a friend in south carolina who breeds blackthroats. He usually sells his captive bred babies for 250.00-300.00 I can give you his contact info if you would like

Good luck. Tanzania closed all reptile exports in late 2011. Not sure when they will re-open for exportation. Only means CB will go way up in price and if you can find a CB BT for under $300.00 you should jump on it while you can.

Chirs Wilkinson, Meadow Lakes Alaska.

Black Throat (MALE) 1.25 years old 44.5" and still growing like a weed.
Sumatran Wate Monitor (3 months old) already gained 5" + since I got him in March 2012.
Sulcata Tortoise 11 years old (125LBS)

Please give me the info too! I really would like one, and the breeder I met in my area had problems with his last clutch.

He finally replied to my email, and mentioned his clutch at the beginning of the year, only one hatched, and that one didn't live. So I'm kind of browsing for more people.

Mine missed this year. Perhaps next season.
