Well, I finally took those pics of my armata that I have been promising for some time now. Since Jobi wanted some pics of the capra I though it was a good time to get the rest of the group documented while I was at it.

I commented the other day that since I added the heat source they are all looking so much prettier. Well, here is the proof. These animals were pretty dark except when stressed before but now this is what I see every time I open their viv!

This is the dominant female, she is the least colorful but is still a very pretty reddish brown. I think she is still very pretty and her scales are like jewels.





This is the second most dominant female. She is my favorite as far as colors go. I don’t even know what color would describe her. She sometimes looks almost blue-gray, others she looks sort of bluish-green. Her webbing is definitely in the reddish-brown tones. Very striking!





This is the shyest female. She hides most of the time and this was one of the rare occasions where she was out front and center. This is what the male used to look like without the heat source. She used to look brown.





And last, but not by any means least, here is the male. He has really blossomed since I added the light bulb. His color is always fluorescent and bright! He also has quite the temper. I only have to get within 5-6 inches of him and he lunges and hisses. He actually jumped at me while I was taking the photos! ; )





So, that’s the 4 largest armata. The other 3 are still a bit illusive and hard to find. I’m hoping they respond soon as I have added the bulb to their viv as well.
