    Soak or not to?

    Hi, I don't soak mine at all really (unlike my horsefields who I do once a week). The breeder I got my Radiata from doesn't soak them, they live in a greenhouse with a 100watt lamp and he showers them each night in their enclosure, which then provides the humidity for the next day. He also...

    My Radiata weight gain

    Hiya Dan!!! Thanks for your quick reply- really tho gaining a third of his body weight in 8 weeks is OK, he a complete pig with food, very agressive with his chomps, like the world will end if he stops to take a breath!

    prices

    Hi All, I know this will be totally irrelevant but just for your info really, we can go to the Hamm reptile show and can get Radiata for around 700 euros for hatchlings. But in the UK the only hatchlings on sale are a whopping 1,900 GB£ each. So your prices seem OK to me!!! TOTALLY...

    Humperdink the radiata

    Ha ha sorry Dan!!!! I didn't raise him since 04 although I would love to take the credit. I only picked him up last week. He was grown very well by someone very knowledgable, he was fed on weeds, grasses etc (no fruit), the breeder barely feeds them for 3 months of each year so dosn't grow...

    What are your thoughts on hatchlings with irregular scutes?

    Hiya, how about scutes that are supposed to be there but are slightly irregular in themselves, e.g. one of the radiated I am going to buy has one scute on her side that is slightly smaller than the other side, but all her siblings were fine. I am still going to buy her tho because she is still...
