Young Ornate Pics, male

Rick Millspaugh Jul 15, 2006 02:51 PM

Nothing special, just wanted to share some new pics. They are about 7 months old now. I really like the head pattern/colors on the male a mix of turquoise and pink/salmon.

She is the smallest of the group but gets along with the male so I am keeping them together for now. She is still growing and does not look undernourished, so I am not too worried. She has a nice mix of “warm” colors. They are going into a bigger cage today. You can see the male peaking out from under the wood platform. Yes, she is shedding.

He's a beaut! Would you mind putting him in the box Monday with the 2 girls??

I think I am going to give it my best effort to keep this pair. My traveling could be an issue though, two clutches of snake eggs and a clutch of Bearded Dragons are hatching while I'm gone next week. My wife's afraid of snakes, so I have a young colledge student comming over to put them away. Not the same as being there if problems arrise and it could all become overwhelming for my wife in a few months.

I love the color on these two - they look like spring pastels. Those salmon colors are my favorite bits on ornates.

I like them too. I hope they keep developing good color. Wish I had a gigantic enclosure to keep bunches of them (like half the yard), they are all so different.
