In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Can you provide some information on these? I understand their basic care but how big do they get and do they become more herbivorous as they get older?

Yes, of course!
I get my basic husbandry from Vietnam, where these guys are commonly found and farmed.
Leiolepis in general can live for several decades. Sexual maturity is reached at 4-5 years in age, these guys grow quite slow.
L. Rubritaeniata is known to be bisexual in nature.
Temps: 85-110 during the day with a basking spot of up to 120 (F), at night temps can range between 60-75.
Humidity ranges between 65%-85%, with higher humidity at night.
Feeding should consist of 50% of the protein component of animal origin and 50% of the food of plant origin. Here they can consist of various vegetable mixtures for herbivorous species containing flowers and leaves of non-poisonous weeds and trees, fruits, grated carrots, beetroot, Chinese cabbage, chicory, Pollock, arugula, etc.germinated seeds and legumes such as lentils, mung beans, alfalfa, radish, etc. are very suitable. in addition, various types of seeds and legumes are also recommended to be served in dry form, as well as in the related genus uromastyx. You can also feed washed dandelions. (make sure there was NO weed killer on it, any chemicals can and will kill your animal). Mine prefer crickets, but I have had success feeding them in a deep dish where no bugs can escape, Locusts would be preferred over crickets but work with what you can get. Mealworms and small dubias have been the most successful of other insects, some have success with black soldier fly larvae. just make sure that the body width of whatever you feed them is smaller than the space between their eyes.
These guys are prone to dehydration, they do not drink stagnant water. A Mister, waterfall, or small airstone in a water dish is sufficient.
During the first 2 years of life, the chicks grow to about half the size of adult individuals, but then their growth slows down significantly and they reach sexual maturity only at the age of 4-5 years.
Male rubritaeniata can get up to 16 inches in length, and up to 80g in weight.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know!
