Hello!
So after doing alot of reading on here, and realizing that the pair I was originally planning is a bad idea, I've finalized arrangements to get this baby cherry head (image attached). This is the only image I have right now, and the breeder is Bill Murray from Redfoot Ranch in FL. I am waiting for the NY weather to warm up and for the baby to put on a little growth before he ships it out. I'm hoping to have it home by around Easter. It may be too late to ask if anyone has had experience with this breeder, but he was responsive to all of my questions (including the ones I knew the answers to) and I went with my gut.
I would like to have a small group down the road, either a trio of females or 1.3 group, depending on the gender of this one.
Am I right in assuming that if I have the proper enclosure and gender ratio, that I can expect to be able to hormoniously integrate individuals of a sexable age to create my group down the road, or does raising them together play some role in how social/aggressive/group freindly cherry heads will be? I know they are considered a semi-social species but they are also individuals. Any and all advice would be greatly appriciated. I am here to learn!
Thanks in advance,
Hannah
