Updates for Connie & Chuck (DUW)

**Mrs. InsaneOne** · 02-20-07, 03:03 AM

Well, it's been a while since I posted pics of all of these critters and I thought I'd lump them all into one thread so you can see how well the babies we got from you are growing. I don't yet have pics of all of them, but I have enough to start with! lol. I still can't believe how fast some of these guys and girls are growing! They are getting SO huge!

I'll start with Mercury, the male bloodred:

1 down 7 to go...

Up next is Galena, the better eater of the two anery motley females we got from you. She's looking mighty pink lately as is the snow motley from the same clutch!

Her smaller sister up next...

Graphite, the second female anery mot, was the slower eater and less hardy of the two. Though, she's grown quite a bit since she arrived, she is still 1/2 the size of both her sisters. These couple of pics are from last month unfortunately, I'll be taking more pics of her tomorrow, she just shed today, and get them posted in a day or two.

I'll also try to get one of Galena and Graphite together, just to show the size difference between the two.. Next up will be the snow motley...

These pics of Gypsum really show off how pink she has become, though they are still a bit washed out compared to her true colors. She's blue right now, or I'd take some more recent pics of her to post. These ones of her are from the end of last month:

I expect her to shed sometime this next week, so I'll have more pics of her soon.

That's 4 down and 4 more to go... Breccia, the female hypo, is next...

**Mrs. InsaneOne** · 02-20-07, 03:24 AM

Breccia, 06 hypo het lavender. Pics are from earlier this month:

And here's one that I love of her from the beginning of the month:

She's also blue right now, though she's just started going blue, so it will be a little while before I can get more recent pics. Zircon, her brother, will be next!

**Mrs. InsaneOne** · 02-20-07, 03:29 AM

I just realized that I only have pics of Zircon from the beginning of last month. I'll post the best one of those and take more of him tomorrow when I get updated ones of Graphite.

He's not as big as his sister, but he's been putting on weight just as steadily!

And that leaves just Jasper, the sunkissed, left to post pics of. He's out on vacation still, but we took pics of him yesterday when we visited him to remind him who we were. He seems to have doubled in size since we last saw him, and he's only grown more beautiful in all that time! I haven't yet cropped his pics, but will do so tonight and try and get them posted before I go to bed. If not, I will post them sometime tomorrow.

I love Graphite's side pattern, or lack of. She is cool!

Those anery mots are starting to look like mom and dad and love the color on the snow mot. There is hypo and dilute in the background of those guys as well. The blood's pattern is as I remember it, though it looks like he's going to retain some of that tan/orange overlay in the background from his mother's side of the family. He's looking better each time I see him. The hypo looks just like Momma Randie.

Can't wait to hear how the sunkissed does for you. I bet he's really starting to color up. Wait til he hits 3, his father just glowed.

Connie, the sunkissed is getting hugh.. We have not had him around here since November, but rest assured Stephen has been taking excellent care of him, he has to be 150g's when I last seen him on Sunday.. The blood has be getting a bit of a melanine wash througfh the back ground colour though, I just wish his half sister never escaped on us.. * pouts *

These guys have all been growing excellent over the last year, and we don't use Dean's Monster recipe..

Regards.. Tim of T and J

The anerys are indeed coloring up nicely, better then I'd ever hoped really. I am really looking forward to the breeding trials I have planned for them in a couple more years. The snow, she is hands down the nicest snow we own. She's also a bit of an escape artist herself, she's snuck out twice do to insecure closure of the lid, but both times she's dropped to the floor and hung out under the extra tupperware lids. Now I check her cage every other time I walk past because I don't want her to get out again!

As for the sunkissed, he's practically glowing now. He's lost some of the lingering brownish wash in his saddles and they are actually starting to fade into the background more noticably. You can still see them, they just aren't any where near as sharp as they were 4 months ago.

Here's his pics from the weekend:

We've got our fingers crossed that he shows interest in his lady friend here soon too.
