carlos Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ok. I didnt know we had different types. These are the usual green ones you find. How would ya know if they are native? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I let the native ones go as well, I dont see many of them around now. I also let the different coloured africans go, Have seen brown ones and yellow ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
