Here are my baby pretty rocks. This is the only way I can get a picture of them all together, these rocks are the kind that move around a lot I guess.

This is just an appetizer for tomorrow, stay tuned!

I can't believe how smooth they are!!! They don't even look like leopards... well not the ones I'm so used to seeing for so long. They look fantastic Neal. Weights?

Edna, these are totally unrelated to mine. Mine came from Cory and Neal bred and hatched these himself.

Negative, these are from my adults.

Top left 44g (8 weeks old), bottom left 45g (7 weeks), Top right 65 (14 weeks), bottom right 20g (3 weeks). So about 3 - 4 grams average per week...pretty fast I think. My sri lankas are keeping up too, hopefully pictures of them tomorrow.

:D I called mine "pretty rocks" too. :D What I really think are pretty are the adults. Much nicer looking then almost all the adults I have seen. I especially like the father's markings.

Seeing your weights proves how hard it is for hatchlings to recover from bad treatment. When I got mine, they were real squishy and severely underweight. After 6 months, finally got one up to 65g and the other to 49g. At 11 months old! I'm way behind the curve. Getting there. Just need some TLC! :)
