There have been some good sunny days the last couple of weeks so the animals were up and about in their outdoor enclosure. It's really interesting to see the animals manage their activity levels throughout the day. Appearing when the sun has heated up a couple of their hiding spots and when the morning humidity has gone down a bit. Disappearing when it gets too hot in the middle of the day and appearing for an late afternoon snack again.
The outdoor enclosure has also trigged their survival instincts again. In their indoor table they were quite relaxed and would stick out their head looking for food. The outdoor enclosure however, has made them a bit weary of overhead objects, like birds and me. I 'remedy' this by sprinkeling some fresh food though out the enclosure. This makes them less fearful when they notice I bring food and allows them to forage through the entire enclosure. So they spend most of their time exploring, nibbling and sleeping.
I normally only take pictures for my own administration, but since it was such nice weather I took some extras.
On a different note, I was wondering what locale/subspecies these youngster are. Could you perhaps give some insight on this @HermanniChris?
Below are pictures with a better overview from a couple of animals:
1e animal
2e animal
3e animal: (This one puzzles me, it started out looking very much like the animal above, but it's spot started slowly 'breaking'. It started as a slight lime green but the scutes are slowly turning more bright yellow.)
