    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Man, oh man this guy turned out nice. This is the first Ambilobe that I can say has turned out to be almost identical to Cyclops who is probably one of the best living Panthers in captivity. Haven't seen another male produced by anybody even come within a football field's length of this guy's beauty. The really crazy part is that this male isn't even related to Cyclops which is even more amazing. I've bred a few of his sisters to "The Main Man" so we'll see, in about 5 months, if FINALLY a duplicate can be produced. Fingers are crossed!

Isaac,
I posted a big pic of him in the "new" gallery on fauna for you. Here is the link: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=412&nocache=1

The pic is actually a less fired up version of him although he is one of those rare males that never darken their colors and is always for the most part bright orange/green and good blue bars. Another clutch sired by this guy is hatching right now for me and this batch could be one of the best Ambilobes produced yet. Hoping to get a carbon copy of Cyclops but offspring even half as good as their old man is still better than 98% of what has been offered or is currently in the market. This is a pairing, pictured below, of "The Big Man" and a daughter from another amazing male named Cerberus. Shoot me an email or maybe later after the holiday I'll get around to posting some of the UNBELIEVABLE pics I took while I was out in Florida two weeks ago - I actually have some pics of some really cool fresh WC hand picked males that my buddy picked up that I think will blow your mind.

If I can't get it right this time I give up - just email me.

Nice...

The males look good. The male from Aline reminds me of a male named Cerberus. Make sure you stay on the fresh male btw, you've got a good 6 months before you can begin to rest easy on him. He'll turn out really nice if you can acclimate him though. For clarification, hand picked is when you are at the importer picking animals, just picking from pictures sent by the importer can be misleading sometimes as the animals can be in much worse shape than what the pic shows. But, it looks like it worked out in your case. If you can acclimate him and he lives he'll be worth the hefty price you paid. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Isaac,

No worries, he is a good male so it is easy to say good things. As for paying too much, you paid what, anywhere between $350-500 for a freshly imported, but nice Panther? And for him being hand picked, are you sure who you bought him from was in Florida to hand pick your male, as in at the importer's place of business pulling out bags? You know, I happened to be in Miami when that shipment came in btw...... At any rate, good male - there were quite of few very good imports in that shipment - and look forward to seeing fututre pics.

-Matt
