Not convinced that is a Tegu, at least from the angle of the picture.  The head does not look right..

I used to breed lizards and snakes.  Specialty in lizards were with monitor lizards.  Even as a "pet" the tegu can be quite nasty.  They are truly not a lizard to be played with (although some do).  Monitors are no different, wild caught or captive bred.

Yeah, definitely not a Tegu.

It's a Black Spiny Tailed Iguana
Yes, my mistake. I should have known. Iguanas are still slightly ferocious from what I have heard despite their herbivorous nature, right?

The second one is a tegu. They eat mainly birds, fish, and eggs. Tegus can be dangerous if they are wild but if they are tamed they make great pets as they are very lazy and docile in captivity. About the amievas, they sell for like 40 or 50 bucks at pet stores, so maybe you could catch them and sell them to pet stores or whatever.

Maybe you could make a mamey pie like a sweet potato or pumpkin pie with the same ingredients, just substitute the sweet potato and pumpkin for mamey.

It is a standard response. Maybe in Perth there aren't many deciduous trees/bushes but this is normal I think. Here in Michigan blueberry bushes are sold practically in every lawn and garden section at every store so they are very common to me.

Do you have giant laulau(Syzygium megacarpum) or Syzygium versteegii?

A lot of them are in the Annonaceae family tho. He has had Annona cacans, Annona amazonica, and a few others from tine to time.

i don't grow mangoes on a large scale, but is this when the internal part of the fruit is brown and rotted looking but the outer fruit looks completely fine? If so, I have been noticing this from a number of store bought ataulfo mangoes from Mexico.

I don't know about either of those seeds but I know Vitor from Rare.Species.Amazon has a lot of very rare Amazonian Annonas.

I've had a Crimson Sweet goji berry now for about 3-4 years now. It has fruited for the past 2 years very sparsely. It is planted in semi shade in ground with regular soil enhanced with manure and compost. It has gone NUTS. It's growing all over the place without much reason. When is the best time to prune my goji berry and is there a shape/technique to use?

Hello, does anyone have for sale some of the seeds from rare african fruits such as Dacryoides edulis, Aframomum, Allanblackia gabonensis, Thaumatococcus daniellii, Treculia africana, Strychnos spinosa, Pseudospondias microcarpum, Mammea africana, Irvingia gabonensis, Garcinia livingstonei, Myrianthus holsti, and/or others for sale in the US or could someone be a link to some of the African importers? I still haven't been responded to from the USDA about the permit and I am getting restless. Also, does anyone have seeds for Holstedtia species, Annona scleroderma and Inga laurina. I can buy or trade, please and thank you.

I think they do ship trees, but he says it will be quite expensive for shipping and all of the plants are bare rooted. "For those of you who want to mail-order, I urge you to take special care of your new trees, as bare-rooting and shipping is stressful for them (some are more sensitive than others). I mainly offer this service in case some trees are unavailable locally. If you want to place an order, please contact me by e-mail (sadhu@coqui.net) before, so that I can confirm the availability and size of the trees. All trees are sent bare rooted, the roots are treated against nematodes and wrapped in a humid, sterile medium."

Never ordered from them as I am a bit skeptical but they have an amazing variety of trees, for cheap, and they are in Puerto Rico so I don't think you need permits. Has anyone dealt with Govardhan Gardens? If they are legit this might be like a goldmine for me at least.
