They came from the Atlanta Zoo. It's been a long approval process but well worth it!!

This means that the parents are probably listed in the stud book. If you'd like to list your babies in the book I can give you the address of the stud book keeper.

I have the parents ID numbers but the place on their form where the stud book numbers should be, is blank. I think if I remember right, the mother may be from the Honolulu zoo and about the same age as Phae! After getting approved and finishing the final paperwork, I found out that these are most likely both males also (Incubated at 79 degrees).

Congrats! Really like their indented scutes. Much like impressa. Just for comparison, what is their SLC length?

They look very well settled in. Loving the plants and all. Did you have dreams of them dancing in your head:p :D. How many times did you get up to see if it were true, they were finally home:D

Very nice set up for them. It will look good once those plants grow a bit more. Also from my observations my guys like dark hides, I would build something a little more small and snug and dark, Mine love hiding in box hides

Very nice. I've been wanting to get one myself. I contacted a seller, just waiting on a response.
