So now I have a MM sportinf spurs and his boxing gloves.
Im not in Gauteng so am not near any breeders so what to do???
Seems a waste to just keep it locked away. He is now 15-16cm, beautiful colouration.

He looks great!
I always feel bad for mature males that don't get to mate.
You need to consider your options.
A- keep him, watch him pace around his enclosure.
B- sell him & post him to a collector elsewhere in SA and make a few bob.
C- lend him out (post him) and hopefully receive a few of his offspring.

I don't really think its a god idea to post mature females but I have posted and I have received mature males in excellent condition (thanks to the packaging of the sender)

So do some research and you should find mature females.

Panama I see another option ;)

D - Buy a mature female for your male and breed them yourself and bypass all the other steps B)

Thanks guys.
Breeding loan isnt an option as my wife already thinks 7 T's are too much :angry:
Same applies for getting a female and breeding obviously. I have someone who is interested in him, how much would a fair price be?
Also are there any threads showing how to post a fully grown T? Only ever recieved slings before.
He was my first T, had him since a sling except for a year when he had a "foster home" while I was working away. Will be sad to see him go :(
