Well, I've been getting talked into getting into forstenii for a year now. I was able to rehome 8 rescues last week, so I finally caved in and got a pair. I couldn't be more happy with that decision. I ended up with a pair of roughly 7" gorgeous forstenii this morning. Depending on how these guys do in the next couple weeks, I may get a couple more younger juveniles to have a larger group.
Here is the male
And the female
What surprised me about these is that they both had split scutes....Seems rather odd to me. They are doing okay so far. The male was taking papaya and tomatoes as soon as I brought him home. The female has been a bit more timid, but came out of her shell a bit when she was put outside in the sunlight. Haven't seen her take food yet, but it's still their first day.
Any advice anyone who keeps these has is greatly appreciated
. I'm so excited to finally be able to work with this species.
