    Re: That special time of year is almost here again : Gravids!

    Just a little info before you buy.
    A Lot of people do not give the details on these animals so we wanted to put a little info out there before anyone gets in over there heads.

    These are gravid wild caught animals, they are not the easiest animals in the world to keep, and should be handled, they will not make good pets. If you have experience with w.c animals or want to gain experience and hatch some eggs, and see what you get these girls are for you.
    Some of these females are truly stunning, and their babies are too.

    That said do not set them up next to your c.b animals... make sure to quarantine them as you would any animal c.b or w.c .....

    They do best housed in rack systems, and left alone until they lay their eggs. We have had the best luck feeding them live gerbils after they lay. The females we held back did not go for soft furs but love gerbils....


    They are not treated for parasites when we have them other than removing any visual ticks as we feel it is not safe to treat a gravid female and adds undo stress. After they lay their eggs, a dose of panacure and flagil is in order and will help boost the feeding response. We use black night in the cages after they lay to kill any ticks that remain and have not had any problems with our females.

    This is just a basic before you buy info, we are here before and after the sale to help you with these girls and there eggs. They are great to work with if you understand what is required. The babies are a bonus over c.h as there is no one there to pick over them before you. Who knows what kind of animals you can hatch from these eggs.
    Check out the ebony type animal balloons4u hatched last year from one of our gravids.
    The chance is there, we just ask that you think before you buy.
