wow lol. it'd be incredible to watch that many eating so much food so quickly. I plan on finding out about the scientific permit over here because i would love to breed my blotchies but with the normal permit you cannot have more than 6 adults, and it wouldnt be easy giving blue tongues away to good potential owners down here. so many naive people that think they are just cool to have and dont actually care for them. One guy i talked to who i was going to recommend to someone who had a blotchie to give away was telling me how he keeps 16 little dragons in the same enclosure until they are bigger, I told him it would be best to research them more and realise that is crazy to do to the poor little things especially considering i was concerned he was going to put the blue tongue in with a dragon. dragons are quite territorial i believe, though i dont know much about them. but obviously more than him..
just realised im rambling. My bad :doh:

Similar scenes at my house. Great to see them start to chow down. :-) Some of my males are holding off though - other things on their minds. :wink:
