Better pics of Eros and Gaia

[Zamric]

Last time I made an up date for Eros and Gaia, the pics where kinds fuzzy. I Blamed the camera but it turns out my hands shake to prevent good pics, so my daughter took these for me on Thanksgiving.

So, here are Eros and Gaia in nice, crisp pictures!

Eros; 23 months, 305gm, 11.2cm







Gaia; 28 months, 222.3gm,

They also have very high domes.... Didn't some one once do a study on High Domes at young ages = one sex or the other?

They spent their 1st 18 months in a closed chamber, high heat/ high humidity (see Toms paper on hatchlings and follow it closely). With simi weekly soaks and Vita-shell once a week.

They just spent this last Summer outside 24/7 in the Texas Heat and low to moderate humidity. They are currently back in their closed chamber but I'm not so anal about the high Humidity (80%+) and they still get their weekly application of Vita-shell!

Thanks! There aren't many Leopards this smooth on this site but there are a couple of older ones that fairly smooth!

So beautiful Zamric. They are lovely.
I have to ask. Do you think all the white is because of the Vitashell? I seem to recall that they come from two different places and yet they look a lot alike in shell development. Per chance, have you seen their siblings to compare? In any case, no doubt on how awesome they look! Mighty nice! : )

Im not sure if the color is from the vita shell or not. The are from different clutches from different parts of the Country but they both have a nice creamy butter tint.... but they also have the same diet and same environment. It could be a combination of all 3!

Their shells almost look like a plowshares except you don't have to plow. The are truly exceptional. You should be proud.

How often do you soak them.

 

[Zamric]

How often do you soak them.

for the 6 months, 2 or 3 times a week. for the next year, once a week. When they where outside this summer, 24/7 they never got soaked. Now that they are indoors for the winter, once a week.

During the Summer they never got soaked because of my sprinkler system. their garden got watered 3 times a weeks which equaled @ 45 minits of rainfall weekly. That does not count how much God watered them!
