Kongster son of KONG & Chinook

PHEve Feb 14, 2007 12:42 PM

The lil Kongster has grown nicely, a yellowhead / aqauflame mix. I did not not brumate this year. He's a handsome guy, very blue and very intense yellows when hot.

The lighting here was weird with the storm we are having, so bright out, but so icey & nasty! Kind of washed my pic out a bit.

This boy has the disposition of his Mom and Dad, just awesome.

He's growing up to be a mighty handsome boy - gorgeous coloring, washed out or not!

Still sleepier than I'd like. She's been a little active since I posted (more than before), but still not bouncy. She eats. She snoozes. I saw her at the water bowl once. No bouncing.

If all else is fine, then just keep an eye on her may be nothing. I know, it bugs ya when they are not themselves. Even when ya have a zillion of them, LOL You still know each ones ways, and if someone is not acting right.

She may just shed or something stupid lets hope so

I'm thinking... (about the shedding) and I dunno if Rory is due for a shed, but I'm gonna vote for shedding based on a semi related story:

Justin has a baby thayeri king (sydney) that's sweet as can be. A day or so after we got into out new apartment in Miami from NJ, she wasn't coming out of her hide rock and was very agitated to have any visitors. Justin says she attempted to strike at him. He kept saying it was too cold in the car, she's sick, she's gonna die... and i told him the collareds do the same thing when they're about to shed. They hide, dont wanna be bothered, etc... and i reminded him that unlike the collareds, the snakes shed over their eyes so it gets really hard for them to see, which explains the attempted strike. He wasn't buying it.

And ya know... the very next night I hear "hey tiff check it out, she's shedding..."

ANYway- Roz decided to be nocturnal for a few weeks and I thought I did someting wrong, but she's pretty much normal now, no real reason for her behavior. Go figure. Animals do WEIRD things, ha!

the lizard I got from Thomas Jones and sold to John-C. See if John has any pictures to compare him to. I always thought TJ looked like a cross between an aquaflame and an auriceps from Utah. You can see that blue dewlap and the yellow is more lemoney as opposed to orangey yellow.

Nice looking lizard, Eve.

John

PHEve Feb 15, 2007 12:42 PM

Yeah, your right Johneee about the lemony yellow, it's very bright sunny yellow rather than the aquaflames orangey yellows.

He is a nice boy for sure, I just would not know who to mate him with, when I do, a yellow lady or a flame girl

Hey put the dang laptop down and enjoy the vacation your own, LOL

Thats one good lookin' young fellow. If he ever backtalks you, and you don't want to deal with him, just e-mail me for my address.

The lil Kongster is too nice to back talk his mom, hahahhaaa !

This lil guy is quite special, His Daddy KONG the big aquaflame, and his mommy Chinook (pretty yellowhead) are REAL special pets to me. They are ALL special but I have had these two for quite awhile, both so very docile, and gorgeous to boot!

KONG and Chinook when they made the kongster :0)
