Thankyou for all of your replies i have took into consideration all of them and have decided to go for hermans...... This is because i have looked into other soecies and they get too big for what i want. The redfoots are great but i have decided to go for Hermans

Thanks For Replies

As a first tort I say you should go for a Hermann, though I am very partial to my Leopards as well!

My hermanns are in my signature, although I could only really fit 3 of them, in, I have 5, because they are really addicting! <G>

How about a 'thread within a thread' - what your favourite sub species in the Greek Spur Thigh family? I say ibera's because I have 2 of the snotty little bleeders snoozing upstairs but I really like the smaller north african varieties and plan to buy in either Terrestis or Floweri (aka the 'golden greek') as and when the opportunity arises.
