I'm also after another, an adult female or 2, but to no avail! The only place I've seen them advertised hasn't replied to my email yet
Babies are everywhere, but no adults unless they come in established groups, adults are like rocking horse poo! Either that or I'm not looking in the right places, in which case please redirect me!
Am I right in thinking you can Gage the sex of an adult from the shape of its head, with the females having shorter 'snouts'? I also believe the spiny scales around the vent are more pronounced in males....

yep that's correct. It's easier and more noticeable if you have a few animals to compare with. _________________
