Most of mine take pre-killed wet mice readily. One male L. uruguayensis is a little reluctant to take mice and prefers tadpoles. He will take the mice if I previously give him a tadpole (or a green tree frog also), and then scent a fuzzy mouse with a tadpole. During the winter is a little challenging to find them, but I'm able to order them from a company that sells them for school projects.

Regards.

The ones on the pictures are my adult pair, to be honest I am struggling to get them to eat. I have a pair of babies and theyare eating live pinks/fuzzies.My tricolours all eat mice with gusto!

Incredibly looking animals Barry, congratulations! Particularly the "aberrant" baby in the last picture. Never seen something like her. Have you tried scenting with toads? My L. uruguayensis (formerly D'Orbigny) are well known because they are difficult to feed unless on a diet of amphibians. I was able to switch them to pre-soaked dead fuzzys (the female which is larger will take hoppers) but they all went through a "scenting" period with green tree frogs (Hyla) or bullfrog tadpoles.

Regards.

Thanks, yes I have tried that, only I dont have any toads, i have tried scenting with white and pacman frogs (which I keep). I will get them going, I have to, they are too rare not to!!!!

I last saw a pair of D'Orbigny years ago and were very expensive, have you bred them?

Well, I also have a pacman for scenting purposes but they don't seem to be interested. That's odd considering both have similar distribution in South America and I would suspect they should be a natural prey. The D'Orbigny are ready to breed this season.

Regards.

What price would a pair be?

Market price The only pair that I saw up for sale was in KS almost a year ago. I can't remember how much they were asking for both at that point, but I do remember they were accepting trades for a spider ball python. That would give you an idea of how much they were going for.

Regards.
