Mandarina Minuet
O.K. Galen,

I do hope that you appreciate the 'dance' that I performed in order to provide these photographs,the words 'life & limb' spring to mind.

Really it was not as bad as I suggest.

Flash - as ever the perfect gentleman:

Name: Mandarinam-acertextbM07.JPG Views: 91 Size: 173.8 KB

Flash'et - as unpredictable as ever:

Name: Mandarinaf-I am off,textM07a.JPG Views: 90 Size: 199.9 KB

Lookin' good in the sun.

Lex

........and here is the lady when I took her out of her vivarium, albeit in her sphagnum moss box !

One can't be too careful with this girl, she has a habbit of telling me when she is displeased.

I was looking forward to breeding these guys this year...........not so sure she is sufficiently mature.

If not now, then def. 2008

This is an example of a disgruntled Mandarina

She's a sweetie

Awesome Lex......just plain AWESOME !!!!

THAT right there is why they are on top of my most wanted list (being a Steeler fan does not hurt it's chances either). When they decide to come down in market value where I won't need a second mortgage....I will pick up 1.1 myself.

Thanks for those pics and please feel free to add more, on my behalf.

(my version of mdorfers )

Thanks Caroline & Galen

So pleased that you both like the 'guys'.........however, MORE photo's would involve that 'life & limb' thang again

The female has reached 450grams & is 5 years of age, therefore, a potential mating may be considered.

Flash is now 10 years of age & I thought he may be a little, shall we say 'passed his prime' ?

But, not so......... the people that I spoke with last year assured me that 10 years is not an ancient Mandarina.

I would love to have some youngsters, but, not at the risk of harming the female - even although she can be a little swine sometimes!

Yes, this species was top of our 'most wanted' list way back............when we found them in the U.K. I could not believe my eyes

Flash is f1 & one would think that he would have the lively temperament, but, not so....yes, he can be a little disgruntled at times, but never displays the absurd behaviour of the female.

Here is the boy, the melanin has become more pronounced as he's matured:

Name: Mandarinam-closetextM07.JPG Views: 67 Size: 156.4 KB

Just look at that eye........excellent camouflage.
