I'll get Lewy to take more pics, but yes he went in it from being a young'un and it should be alright for life. They are an inactive species

Where'd you get that? I can remember having a plant nicknamed the 'mile-a-minute' in a planted tank a few years back, but haven't been able to get hold of any.

Will take some more photos tonight, had any luck at snakes and adderrs for an albino yet?

Phil, Drop me your postal address by email and I'll send you a cutting in the post, just push it in the soil and it will take root (it does grow a mile a minute)
Other name is "wandering jew" got it from dartfrog.co.uk

Lewy did you use any compost as substrate or just eco-earth...?

I'd stick with just eco earth, unless you know for sure there's nothing nasty in the compost. sometimes stuff you buy in garden places can have fertilizer in it.

Cheers mate... hopefully picking up an Albino this week. Was gonna go for a fantasy but I have read that they are all infertile, so decided to give it a miss just in case I get breeding ideas later on...

I personally would go for the ornate, they only get better looking as they get older. no scratch that... I'd have all three Albinos are gorgeous too and If It's the same one the one at S N A is a good size.
Photo's as soon as you get him/her! You'll have to throw a few babies to me if you breed (Though you'll still have at least 1000 left to find homes for ) At £35 each you are sure to make your money back!

This may help though If you want to borrow a book I have one somewhere

I think Cranwells are the most common and less colourful, so more selective breeding might have been done to create specialisms like albinos.

I will PM you my number now
