Pattern variations of my Bell's hingebacks.

Here are some of my Bell's hingebacks.
I like them because they have very different color.
The yellow male is my favorite
All these nogueyi come from Togo.

I would donate a kidney for one of those males. I have 3 lonely females.

Sono belle! Se in italia sei? HO famiglia a Cosenza. Mi dispiace il mio italiano non è molto buona.

Could you make a thread showing your three? I don't want to hijack this one. Also like how old they are and how long you have had them. I may be able to point you to a male, but have a few things to check out first. Okay?

 

[Weldd]

Will do. By the weekend, latest. I have also been meaning to update on my Spek's babies as well. Thanks so much...

Matteo, I just love looking at all the hingebacks so far! Keep coming back for relooks. Is it possible for you to measure how long those guys are and what they weigh? Also could we see your other hingebacks, too?

Yes Sir! As soon as possible I'll tell you weights and measures.
I want to start a new thread on my Kinixys lobatsiana.
I've got a Kinixys belliana zombensis male that is very pretty, soon i'll show you more photos.(the male is on the left):

Here some photos of my hatchlings and of my nogueyi's indoor enclosure:

The terrarium is equipped with a mega ray zoo lamp that has a very good UVB emissions.

Thank you! I look forward to the new threads. Personally I have never had the privilege of seeing a lobatsiana in person even and the same may be true for the zombensis. I have only saw the Lobatsiana for sale for one group that I can recall. By the time I even saw the ad, the pairs were gone and all that were left were a couple of males. Was leery of investing so much money into an animal for whom I may never get a mate for.

All of your animals are so beautiful. It is rare for me to find the chance to meet up with somebody who seems as hooked on the hingebacks and as invested in them as I am. Not to mention getting to learn how folks from another country keep them. I am so happy you joined here.

Do you keep all your adults housed together? Do you see any agression problems, bullying, fighting going on?

How about with the young Bells?

I had no problems of fighting. I have three males together, only two are sexually mature.
The babies has very delicate eyes and can easily injure each other, especially while eating. So I think it is better to keep together no more than 4/5 specimens in a terrarium.
