Reptile Forum, Reptile Classifieds - CaptiveBred

I have eggs for these in the incu at the moment...there are 2 clutches, one about 2-3 weeks old and another only a few days, so there is still a long wait .

Charlton Reps (they are online, try Google) had babies when we were there a few weeks ago - perhaps they are worth a try. They are listed under their "new" name on the site, which is Timon lepidus (not sure when this re-classification happened, but most places still refer to them as Lacerta lepida).

Trese, they also have a male there... I think I told Dean, so perhaps you guys have already checked it out.

'Ere, why am I now a Forum Granny???

We had some in the my shop (Charlton Reptiles, all C/B by me) the last time I checked. But I am not in the UK at the moment, so please give them a call to check. Tel 020 8856 1066.

I have kept and bred this species for many years. So am willing to answer any questions any of you have. I do not keep them any more, as I cannot keep them legally in Portugal which is where I am most of the time.

Yes the name was changed many years ago to Timon lepidus. I now keep Timon pater and Timon tangitanus instead of the lepidus. I bred many pater last year and should have spare young later this year. I think I will be the first to offer them for sale in the UK for over 20 years. All three species are stunning and make great pets.

Mark, just had a look at your site, very nice, will definately be interested in some Chinese Cave Gecks later in the year me thinks, also liking the look of the Eyed Lizards Can someone give me more info on the Eyed Lizards husbandry and size guide etc please or point me to a GOOD resource site for them, had to state good as not all sites are

Off to research Chinese Geckos now, have looked at them before but can't remember the details ....................beats a swift retreat to google

have a look at this

Bert Langerwerf, the man that wrote this, in my opinion is the best lizard breeder in the world. He has been breeding them for around 35-40 years I believe.

Forgot to say that if you don't already know (Johelian) eggs take around 3 months to hatch.

Also that aggressive/wild behaviour in lacertid and other lizards is due to the much higher levels of UV light outdoors, or more natural lighting generally I think. Even my bearded dragons kept outdoors will bite me given the chance ! Bring them indoors and after a day or so they are calm again. Outdoors for a day and they are monsters again !

Just been looking at the Agama International site, very informative. At this rate Mark I'll certainly be adding a AWD or two to my shopping list

[mark68]

I spent a week there last year helping out. It was such an amazing place (Agama international)

[Dracowoman2]

Thanks for the info Mark, maybe at some point Bri and I can strap and order together?
