Just brought her home today, looks female to me. She sure is underweight at 365 grams, 4.5-5", because my other Radiated is the same size and close to 500 grams. Good thing is she walks up right, does not drag her rear feet, no running nose, clear eyes, clear urine, active, bright skin. She is now in quarantine till I'm sure she is clear of all parasites, I will put her with the rest.

She's very pretty. I'm sure you'll have her up to correct weight in no time!

Thanks all. Started her off with some lettuce which she gobbled up. Good thing she has started eating right after I brought her home. My first Radiated took a couple of days to start eating well.

How old could she be? 3 years?

Thanks everyone! Got her through a friend yesterday evening. I am assuming from her size(4.5-5") that she is 3-4 years of age, am I correct?

Today she ate 10 mazuri pellets, soaked her in luke warm water and she loved it, did not even bother tring to get out. I also let her graze in my garden and she just soaked up the sun, she'd walk a little than look up at the sun a couple of times. i thought she would take some time getting used to eating and settling in like my first Radiated but I was wrong, she's feeling right at home already.
