Nice pics, they are beautiful. How big do they get and aren't they very hard to tame?

hehe yes pt, nice swenglish BTW;)

spindlehead: the tristis will grow to about 60-80 cm, and the gilleni to 30-40cm.
if they are hard to tame? i wouldn't know i never try to force handle my reptiles to "tame" them.
they don't like to be picked up so i don't, unless i have to.

I didn't necesarily mean to force them to tame, I had always heard that they are very aggressive lizards, I just wondered if you found that to be the case or if they are more docile. Laughing

no they aren't aggressive,sometimes flighty if they get scared but most of the time they never mind my presence.

Love Tristis,have you had any luck hatching any.

Patrik · Posted: Sat Jul 22, 2006 8:46 pm Post subject:

no but i have seen mating behavior.at least the male is ready but the female always escapes him,however its been a while since his last attempt.

thank you Scott, are your tristis very shy? mine are surprisingly calm when I'm cleaning, changing water etc, i can come very close to them and the only reaction is tongue flicking, all though to sudden movements can make them a little flighty.
