    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....

Hi

I originally bought this pair of Corucia zebrata from Christ @ Top Shelf Exotics. They've been in my possession for over 9 months. They're currently fed dandelion greens, mustard greens, kale, collard greens, bananas, green peas, and a little carrot. They've done very well. I am located in Seattle, WA and would prefer pick up, but I can ship. I am asking $600 for the pair. Pics can be provided upon request.

Thank you.

Hi

Sorry for not responding sooner. I will post the pics below. The pair I had was sold as a male/female. I've never had them surgically sexed, but if I remember correctly, it's not something that people has much experience in. PTS form very strong social bonds and adding an established pair in with your single PTS could end in disastrous results. They are best kept in pairs or trios with a ratio of 1.2. Larger colonies tend to do fine until one individual dies and heirarchy has to be re-established. I've enclosed several pics I took today.

I've taken close ups to show the pattern and to show their hind legs to show that they are not starving decimated imports. The first individual is friendly to people and more dominant. The second individual is actually a sea-green color and is the submissive of the two, however, he doesn't like to be handled.

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure these are going to good homes. These two have gotten along so well, I will not split them, but I do not know if they are both females. If you're still interested, let me know. I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, and will be back on Monday.

Thank you.
 
Glad to see they paired up for you well. Did you ever find them homes?

Hello.
I'm new to this forum but not to herps. I have had a group of 20 Corucia for 4 years now. I bought a bunch before the ban, and all but a few have done very well. I have had 3 births since I started my groups and only the last and most recent is thriving. The first one was developmentally wrong. It was never active and died 3 days after being born. The second was eaten by another female in the group (?!). That one was very active and lived for about 3 weeks prior to this. The last I separated from the group (except for mom) and that one is doing very well.
Anyways, I know of no one else working with these animals and most of my information is from personal experience. I am most interested in how people are housing large groups, what breeding strategies they use, and how much protein is being added to the diet?
I was also wondering if there are any dedicated sites or forums for these animals. I know someone tried to start a corucia website, but it went down pretty quickly.

Thanks,

phil
 
Do you still have this pair for sale? I already have several monkey-tails and am looking to increase my breeding population.
 
This was posted in 2004. I wouldnt imagine it would have taken 3 years to sell them! ;)
 
Are they still available? I want to buy the pair but ca they be reserved for July-August? How much to ship for 13200 Miami, FL?
