Sunlight is most important and for many species a cool period in winter. But many of the bigger Stapelia species are quite easy in the windowsill. Stapelia gigantea is really easy, big and a bit smelly :evil: Do you have a window towards the south? Without central heating would be perfect...

And hopefully many many more species blooming this year. Have around 50-60 species.

It could also be S. grandiflora, I have a plant that looks quite the same. That flower looks like hirsuta, but has wider petals. I'm opening a thread with my Stapeliads, with also hirsuta, grandiflora and leendertziae. Think the best is to wait until it blooms :P Also have quite a few...

Here are a few {D pictures of my plant collection. Mainly Stapelia, Huernia and Ceropegia. First some pictures of plants which are blooming at the moment, a lot more to come :drool: Huernia booleana with seedpods Stapelia hirsuta with seedpods Huernia pendurata...

I think your Stapelia is S. hirsuta, the plant looks like 1 of the localities I have. Will have a look for you in the greenhouse. Will come back on it. Your Hoodia could be H. gordonii, don't know, I don't keep any Hoodia ssp.

The venom itself is quite potent, but the yield is small, that's the reason why it is classified as quite harmless (as far as venomous snakes are harmless). Just don't get bit.

In the Netherlands it's legal to keep venomous snakes and it's not difficult to obtain them. As far as handling goes, with hooks it's pretty easy with this species. But with all venomous snakes, always expect the unexpected, so they won't surprise you.

Mine is feeding on fuzzies, CB'09, and she's doing great, real easy feeder, never skips a feeding.

And some pictures of my Amazon Tree Boa male, really amazing animals to keep, great behaviour and this one has an attitude how an ATB should be :P

Few pictures of my V. ammo's. Pictures taken by Ewald/Baldor Creations

A few pictures of my female T. venustus. Really pretty lady. Pictures made by Ewald/Baldor Creations.

From what I know, A. minatrix can be kept communal. But also Hysterocrates species (quite good as far as I know), P. subfusca (same as Hysterocrates), P. miranda (same as Hysterocrates), P. rufilata (see below), P. hanumavilasumica (same as Hysterocrates), P. smithi (same as Hysterocrates)...

Males are indeed mainly green. Will get one this week for my 2 females :)

I'm so happy I live in europe :wicked: Together with my dad we keep quite some species. Busy getting this species http://lemondedesphasmes.free.fr/IMG/jpg/Achrioptera_fallax_Coquerel_1861M4.jpg

My ornata big girl looks like this, not that green, never has been. Have another female which was quite green when much smaller, but now looks almost the same as the female below. But many adult males of Asian arboreal species are green. New world, I don't really know.

It started when my parents gave me my first phamsids when I could barely walk and speak at the same time :razz: There always had been some sort of animals in my family, from cows to birds. In '96 I started with "real" exotics, first was a pair of green anoles, from then it went wrong (at least...

It's still there and won't go away :D

I'm pretty sure now that it's a P. edulis. Tomorrow there's a reptile show, so I'm going to look for a P. adspersus. Again, thanks alot.

Mine is now about 4 inches, indeed a bit skittish. And it also likes fingers :} Maybe an idea to buy some more edulis too then, if they can be kept communally. Thanks for the info, my frog only had 1 line across it's back. Now I'm going to search for one with more stripes.

What are the main differences between the 2 species, besides size? Bought it as P. adspersus, to me they also looked like an adspersus. No problem if it's an P. edulis, then I still have to get a P. adspersus.
