Cheers Everyone!
James: They do get large but i have not seen one as hefty as him, he is a little overweight but underneath he is all muscle 
Ailurus: The top viv is 2' shorter that the bottom one that gives me a ledge to stand on and get into the top viv. I can see into both of them as MJ mentioned though
Sean: Cheers! Are you sure? Carl mentioned that the female may have been produced by you but that the male had come from Germany?
GJ: Hahahah, i am very fortunate ion the face that i get all of my frozen food at trade price

Rick -
I have tear in my eye (honestly) seeing the pics of arnie - even astrid is slightly emotional - but I can't think of a better home!!!! - the viv with the male is superb - you must post pics when they've acclimatised - put me down first in line for a hatchling ... great to see you today - my 'new' male is settling in -
Great pics !!

The same male pictured as a juvie in rear up enclosure.
Neil from Cambridge reptiles bought a juvenile pair from me as well as 3 juvie panoptes panoptes. He had some success with breeding the pair.
Back in those days I was the only person breeding panoptes horni and panoptes panoptes in the UK so then I could say that 90% of horni came from me, the others were wild caught or German bred. As for panoptes panoptes I still remain the only breeder to my knowledge so I guess all stem from myself. |

Cheers Shaun, how old is that picture? Do you remember the hatch date for this individual? It would be nice to know his exact age.
