Hi,

Last winter we acquired a pair of Ornata.
One was 9 months and the other one 6 months old. That make them 15 and 12 months approximatively.

We were told that they look like a female and a male but hard to know until they grow more.

The oldest one, have took some weight and started to color nicely. The other one is still smaller and have less blue/green.

We took pictures today. So may be someone could help us identify them as male(s) or female(s). Or to know if they are actually a pair or not. Since I have nothing to compare it too.

1st one (at around 15 months old):



2nd one (at around 1 year old) :




And this is the enclosure we have built for them :
