    Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of our bringing our leachie home and we absolutely love him. Don't know too much about him, though, because we forgot to grab all his info from his breeder when we picked him up, and I messaged multiple times to get it and never heard back. 😔

      Wonderful! That's too bad about getting your pets info :(. Sorry

      Probably cos they have no idea and got the lizard from another supplier. So if they don't respond they wont get messages from you telling them to hassle other suppliers purely to satisfy your curiosity. Animal could also be wild caught which is bad, can you imagine someone grabbing an animal from the wild and then selling it to you for a couple of hundred bucks. For 1 why don't you just go grab it yourself and for 2 it damages the environment. To sum up don't ask stupid questions and you wont receive stupid responses. I doubt they've bred this lizard for 100's of generations and know everything about it, like it's mother and fathers name and stuff like that.

      You can get them around 500€/$ if you go for a Mix. They are still very beautiful but not good for breeding. So if you just want a leachianus for yourself as a pet then go for such an animal.
      Mine are very Activ! After they calmed down they now sleep on the Front door or at least visible every day.

    Hey dude. What this type of set up be good for chahouas or what u add more branches, jungle vine and plants? Although chahouas are not as heavy as leachies, they are still considerably heavier than cresties so I'm debating if cork rounds like the ones in this video should be the key component in chahouas set-ups?
