[brookeekoorb]

I bought another Leopard He should be here tomorrow
There was just something about him I REALLY liked.. I looked at a ton but this one just stuck out to me! So excited!

He's the one on the right

 

[Tom]

Oh boy. You've got it bad. Here we go...

 

[brookeekoorb]

I know right?

 

[ChiKat]

Ohh what a CUTIE!! Do you have any names in mind?

 

[brookeekoorb]

I'm thinking Moose lol The shell above his head kinda looks like a set of antlers. But one of the scutes look like a lightening bolt so I may google some name meanings see if anything comes up!

Is there a scute deformity on them?
The one on the left looks like it has 2 extra scutes, and yours has one extra
I have read that this happens sometimes, but have never seen it, is that what we are looking at right after the front main scute?

---

Is that a scute mutation we see on the one on the left? Just behind the front main scute?
I have heard of it but never seen it, is that what we are looking at, an extra scute?

 

[brookeekoorb]

Yep, he/she has extra scutes, These guys were being sold separately from it's siblings which I had originally emailed about, I was looking at the lighter babies which were sold out, but the color in this little guy was what I was looking for he just had extra "pieces" and from another thread I have learned theres no health concerns

I'm excited! More of em to love

I'm feeling your pain, lol.
I remember waiting for the UPS truck when I got my first leopard, you'd think I was an expectant father waiting for his first born.
The driver jumped out of the van while juggling a box and my heart went to my throat. I squalled don't be so rough with that package, grabbed the box and turned and ran into the house. Can't remember if I said thanks or not, i was absolutely frantic to get the tort unpacked. Wasn't funny at the time, but now that I'm looking back on it I have to admit I was a bit of a nervous ninny and can laugh about it now.

Hope all goes as well as it did for us.

 

[brookeekoorb]

I basically waiting with my face pressed up to the window for an hour Sure I looked crazy.. meh.. if the shoe fits right?

UPS guys did the same thing..bouncing box in his hand, snatched the box shot him a look that could have killed.. the box *UGH* taped to perfection! It took me 5 minutes to open it since I was afraid to use anything sharp.. don't need to poke any eyes out or add a wheel to a missing leg

He was a MESS, poop.. very nice welcome.. *shakes head*

Love him already! Such a personality and very different from my other baby.

 

[terracolson]

how are your babies now?
