I've been asked to show pictures of the parents of the babies that Will is selling. This is the mother, Phae. She was last weighed on May, 2012 and she weighed 50lbs:

And this is Darth, the father. He was in the middle of a pushing match with one of the other females, and I didn't want to undermine his authority by turning him over for a plastron shot, so you'll have to be satisfied with what I was able to get:

He was last weighed on 5-19-12 and he weighed 59.5lbs.

Yes...Medea likes to think she is the boss of the rain forest and every so often Darth has to put her in her place.

Beautiful pair! Looks like Phae had you pinned down in the first pic, did she go for a taste or are they well behaved?

It's pretty hard to get good pictures of them because they chase you all over the yard. They're not aggressive, but they think people are food.
