so far we are undecided on names still we have been going back and forth about it as we watch their behavior and how they each act. all 4 are real sudans. they are doing awesome all over 100 grams one broke 158 yesterday as they grow ill try to update as best i can and get some better pics this was just a quick one while soaking today i took. they are all super smooth as we keep the humidity up and they get regular soaking / proper diet. two look to have a teeny bit but its the way the light it hitting them they are perfectly smooth in person.

Are those Sudans from Tom?

I got one from him a couple months back, and it is around the same size now...

I recall seeing a baby that had the cutest heart shaped scales on top!

yes they are from tom. the heart shaped one is in the pic in the first post. ill take some pics of her. that one has very minimal raised scutes which is normal with that type of miscute as they grow but she is as smooth as absolutely possibly also the smallest of the 4

this might be the one you are thinking of with the odd scutes she is as perfect as is possible.

Yes, that is the one!

She is very cute, and she looks very healthy!

I almost asked Tom for that one (at the time, any of them were available), but I decided on asking for any of them that he deemed ready to go, and I guess it was kind of a random pick, but Ducky eats like a pig, so I am happy!

2 of them are already nearing 250 grams. the other just under 200 already. this one is def a character. she loves to wander and eats a ton. she is the only one who actually enjoys soaking lol. the others will sit for a few minutes then want out lol. ill post a side view also so you can see how she looks from a side view she is darn near perfect except just at the points of the triangles those are a teeny bit raised but its super minimal. this is what proper care at this age does though.

I will admit, Ducky is not perfect, but he is much better than a lot I see, in terms of pyramiding. He gets daily soaks, and he is kept in a very humid greenhouse with the correct lighting and heating. His diet is also varied and healthy. I figure, I'll do what I can do and let perfect biological design take it from there!

I have not weighed him yet...?

152g!

That isn't monstrous growth, but it is decent!

If I lived in a warmer climate, I would have him outside, under my supervision, often, but here in PA we have had sub zero temperatures for the past couple weeks.

?

Guess who's gonna definitely need a heated garage/barn in few years...

Haha
