    Red Whiptails

    Just got a few of these guys and took some shots of them the other day. Very intriguing little guys and do change to a wierd mottled pattern sometimes.





    Whilst on the theme of whiptails, one of my royal whips

    So red whiptails are foerschis? Anyone know what L-number foerschis actually are?

    Cheers,

    Hey GP

    Most of them are around the 10cm mark now (not including the whip), with a few a bit bigger.

    Very nice!

    Forgive me for asking, but what would one of those reds cost as a ballpark?

    Can you put whiptails, royal whiptails and reds in together? Are thye territorial, or do they interbreed?

    Thanks,

    It's always darkest before dawn ... so if you're going to steal some rocks
    from your neighbours garden for your display tank, that's the time to do it.

    Thanks, will do once the tank is cycled, if I can keep them with the others? My other tank is going to a new home tomorrow morning.
