Are these offspring of yours and your breeding program? How much are SHinglebacks in Denmark? I am not trying to be rude, only asking because they are SO EXPENSIVE here in the states!!! Do you sell any of your babies? I am newer to the forum so I do not know much about you so if these are dumb questions, I apologize!!!!! :wink:

No, all my offspring I have bought from Rolf Stein alias Pipa and Peter Ferger, one of the BTS Bible authors.
Only 4 of my 12 Shingles are old enough to bread,
and unfortunately they gave me nothing this authumn, but maybe next Year.

greytmari wrote:How much are SHinglebacks in Denmark?

Mine are all Bought in Germany, the price are currently at about 2000 - 2500 $,
but you have to contact the breeders and line up if You want babies,
adults are occasionally found on the different reptile sales sites.

You are not rude in my opinion.

greytmari wrote:Do you sell any of your babies?

So I can't say "shiver me timbers" or "shifty looking lizards" or "shipwrecked donkeys" without doing pushups? Ok, I didn't say that then. :paranoid:

Awesome setups though!
