In Reply to: Yellowtail Cribos arrived posted by Juergen on December 06, 2001 at 23:52:11:
: Hi to all.
: Yesterday I have fetched the yellowtail cribos from the airport. These are very beautiful animals. The female has eaten this night 1 baby rat and 2 baby mice, the male still nothing. The female is approx. 4 ft., the male approx. 3 ft. Unfortunately, both animals have mites. I´m going top buy something against the mites. Soon I will still let do examinations because of Endo-and Ektoparasites. It surprises me that these animals are so tame and do not bite. Has somebody here also done this experience? A friend has bought this year also yellowtails. His female was also much bigger, than the male. Is this normal, that most WC females are more largely than the males? I am anyway very much enthusiastic from these animals. Even if the employees in the airport were very slow and don´t want to move their as at all. The plane has landed around 08:50 in the mornings, I could receive the animals at last around 14:30.
: I´m so proud to keep yellowtails. Here in Germany maybe 3 or 4 People have yellowtails. Couperis and melanurus are keept and breeded here, but no corais corais.
: Hopefully in a while I ´ll get some rubidus and erebennus, too.
: Many greetings
: Jürgen
jurgen, i recently had the same experience. i received two female yellow tails, one much larger than the other. on the second or third day, while trying to place a pre-killed mouse for the smaller one, she apparently got impatient and ripped it away from me. i was more than a bit surprised! since then she now 'greets' me when she knows i'm opening up to feed her, coming well out of her hide directly at me. her larger counterpart however acted wc at first though. she has calmed down quite a bit since then but she would lunge at me whenever she 'thought' it necessary. i just moved her to a different, larger cage the other day and i was expecting trouble but she was real good about it and was actually calm and cooperative. regarding size differences.... male yellow tails are generally much larger and can attain massive size. congratulations and good luck w/ them jurgen! got your Christmas presents early huh? happy holidays everyone!
