Do you have any problem with feeding? that specie use to eat a lot of South African succulent plants.

This ones is a captive bred.
No prblems witch eating the things a give to the animal.
The imported parents of this animal had some problems but this is all over now.
This one is eating the same as any other animal of a other species.

This species can climb like no other.
Onces in a while this one gets active and starts to climb everything. Nothing stands in his way







Shy? Sometime. Maybe the big black camera has something to eat for me ?

Nice pics

Isn't the beak a bit too long?

By the way, did it comes from a Dutch or German stock? Nice find tough

Le bec ne serait-il pas trop long?

Au fait, il vient d'un elevage hollandais ou allemand? super trouvaille en tous cas

Thank you !
The beak is indeed a little bit to long.
I hope when the grasses grow in the wild it will reduce a little.

This one came from a Belgium breeder

A Reptile veterinarian can also reduce that beak length Maybe it is the best option for now, however that is not critical right now

Un véto pourrait raccourcir ce bec. C'est surement la meilleure solution, cependant ca n'est pas critique encore

It is impossible to get the head to reduce it.
To mutch stress it wont stick his neck out when you come close with your hand at any time.
