Cool.

How many Hoggies can you keep together? I suppose I'll have to wait for mine to be sexed before getting another one. Any ideas how to?

well i keep all mine seperate in 9ltr rubs for now with heat mats and thermostat, a good way to tell is by the length of the tail males are normaly longer than females put a pic up mate if you can of the underside and someone will tell you:2thumb:,

The fact that the tail seems quite long past the vent, hence male?

I have no idea as to why he cocked his tail like a question mark, he sat there for quite a while like that? Not sure he liked having the mobile popped so close to his face, looked a little nervous, damn not having a zoom on the iPhone!

He seemed quite flightly in nature today when I had a quick handle. Not too bad but the fact that at no point does he actually try and secure himself to anything means that he's almost falling off of my hands all the time.

as he gets a bit biger they use their tails quite well to grip my albino likes to wrap around your thumb whilst in your palm
