I've been searching high and low with no luck, I have two adult males from different bloodlines so i'm in dire straights now to find an adult female.

Not easy to come by. And you aren't close to the only one looking.

Good Luck!!!!

Yes the law says in texas for blacklisted animals that you can only have 6 of each species per person in household. I have three people living here so i can have 18 max.

Other than females that have been collected from the Colorado River I haven’t seen any for sale online or anywhere other than hatchlings. If you successfully breed them I would defiantly want one of the babies!!

Shame that some folks are still collecting. I believe that's prohibited.

It’s legal to collect them with a valid Texas hunting license, but yes a shame.

I have a male i got a while back and he is something else, but i got a hatchling a few months back and it's growing like a weed....it's a little too soon to tell if it's male or female i know they are faster to sex than most, but comparing head size the little ones head is way wider than my full grown male and the tail isn't thickening out...long but not thick....i'm guessing a female right now but again too small. I want to have two males for every female I can get. The males aren't so hard to come buy but the females are a true treasure. Hahaha yeah hey someone move in so i can have 24 lols. I'd like to get a full sized female now as my male is probably around 20yrs based on his size and wear on his shell.
