I'm currently trying to raise some Bandensis (that is the assumed ID for now) from egg.

I have 35 babies at the moment feeding on mysis.

Here's a few pics:

when they are that young and small, do they swim around much???

 

[MJI]

They tend to walk on the two "legs" mainly, but do swim occasionally.

Those babies are about 11mm in those pictures.

[MJI]

Your location is not in your avatar, but if you're in the US, Lefty is the man for you!

 

[reefnewbie54321]

im in mass. near boston. Lefty is a member correct? Also is it legal? I remeber my dad trying to smuggle a comoto dragon outta florida while we were on vaction and there was hell to pay ... not sure if its the same thing but I dont want any trouble.

Reefnewbie,

You must mean a komodo dragon. That's really funny! How does one smuggle in a komodo dragon anyway? I don't imagine they can be very quiet or very non wiggly.

I wonder why someone would ever want a komodo dragon? But then I suppose some would say who would want an octopus.

Only reefcentral could relate.

MJI, that is amazing! Are they hard to breed/raise? What size tank do you have the adults in?

BTW do you sell the babies.....and do you ship?
