had a northern blue for about 9 years just died last year, was a sad loss. They make great pets imo the best reptile to keep. Have a friend in austrailia who had a southern that live in his window well of his house. He now feeds it and it never leaves follows him around the yard when he feeds the birds and kangaroos. I would get one of these they are great try to stick with the aussi ones they would be cb ones from papuya would be wild caught.
