They also look like have a very nice temper.
This video made me take interest in them:

Zeke is my cutey pie
But unfortunately he is the only Centralian I have had the pleasure of meeting
Zeke went through a phase of peeing - But I started wrapping him up in a clothe before lifting him up, then when he was in my arms taking it away and he was perfectly fine. He definitely isnt as outgoing and adventurous as my shingles and westerns Ive had/met, but hes quite happy to just sit on my lap and stuff like the dog or kids looking at him through the glass doesnt phase him.

I thought the Shingles were the lazy ones?

I think it depends on the shingleback. I have some more active, whereas a few of them could have a brass band and a thunderstorm happen around them and they'd still be sleeping!
Centralians are incredible. I've not had the pleasure of owning one, but practically fall of my chair looking at the pictures on here. Richard has some beautiful animals, but Nae has a recent thread about her centralian, Zeke, too!
