Komodo's Claire would be something in the far future lol :D Last I heard they were priced up for £125k

Once I get my DWAL sorted I think its a caimen for me to start with anyway but that will be when the children are older and left home so I can convert their bedrooms lol

I'm really glad that you have managed to get some hatchlings Bri, I know you have been working towards that for a while, keep me posted on how they are doing?

I know, the idea of a bite is a bit of a worry, but I am lead to believe that when raised as cb, hatchlings are slightly less toxic than wild dragons because they are eating clean food. Having said that they are of course dangerous, but they are definately my dream, and there is no amount of danger that will put me off, the the cost might I think if they are trained to some degree and you are constantly aware of what they are capable of, then all SHOULD be fine

Gilleni are getting easier to find these days, there have been a few for sale over in the classified section (Scott, didn't you have an ad for some a while back ? ).

Rainforest Reptiles in Newent had some for sale a while back, not sure about price though or if they are still available Rainforest Reptiles - Reptile Shop, Newent, Gloucestershire , it might be worth contacting Chris there.

Very tempting aren't they :) :) I'm hopefully getting a pair of pilbarensis myself. Brandon does not have any available to go just yet, but should have by April/May, which is fine by me as I have to get the viv background built and fitted.

That is interesting to know Bri. Thank you :) Does Brandon have any other Pilbarensis available at that time ? if so do you know how much a pair or trio would cost?

Thanks.
