I'm really loving how my top holdback pair of het hypos from my joint outcrossing venture with Mike are coloring up. WOW, they'd be holdbacks in any collection, even as normals. Add to that they are het hypos and WOW!!!! Have not seen Mikes since we divided up the litter. They are all looking very nice but Chuck and Chris OMG they clearly stand out from the rest.

Enough jibber jabber and on to the pics......

Tim, one word for ya... DEPENDS!!!

ya got em on yet Tim?

My girl Chris, IMO she just might have been THE pick of the litter. Mike had first pick of the males and I don't remember any one clearly standing out from the rest. I had first pick on the females and Chris was a clear standout from the rest!!

LOL, I always take a pic of the cage label or tag or number or record card so I can be sure to tell them apart. This "records" pic was even a keeper!!

Chuck...

Both together for comparison, Chuck on the left, Chris on the right

BTW, the names came from a really good friend of mine, Chuck, and his son Chris. Way back when they got a pair of chinese water dragons which they named Dave and Des after me and my wife. I'd been looking for a fitting pair to name after them!!

Chris may be producing something truly spectacular for you, especially once you get that holdback male with color

Dave can you post the timeline pics of Chris from pre-shed to first and that was the second correct? that would be awesome and informative

Chris was born on 08/02/2007. Mike and I split the litter the next day and I took these forst pics that evening so my firs tpics are from the evening of 08/03.

Eleven days later, 08/14, right after first shed...

These pics are from 09/17, right after second shed....

And these last pics are from 10/05, not relkated to a shed, was just looking awesome. Should be shedding again in a week or two.

And I have to say, she glows much more than these pics show!!!
