Thanks james, hey are amazing little things. They give birth to live young i take it?
what is their diet in the wild?

**adamanteus** · 06-07-2008, 02:45 PM

Yes, they're live bearers. They eat earthworms and slugs.

**jeanette** · 06-07-2008, 02:48 PM

Thanks again

Take it they are unavailable over here?

**adamanteus** · 06-07-2008, 02:49 PM

No, you can get them occasionally. I've had them (and bred them) in the past.

That is pretty cool

may think about looking for a pair sometime in the future

Johnny, Abby (My dekay's) just went off food and is about to shed. Our females may be getting ready to "Dump their loads." :P
