She has finally started to calm down. Hasn't bit me in 6 months.

She came out to let me know she was done eating.

Hi!
nice pictures! She is gorgeous!

Do you know anything about their adult size/coloration? My roommate adopted what we think is an IJ carpet, he looks almost exactly like your pictures. I have heard that some carpets have adult colors different than the younger ones, do these usually stay the same or change as they age?

thanks and enjoy the beautiful lady, she is pretty!

I'm not a pro by any means, but my girl seemed to get more color as she aged. There is a little more going on now. It seems like the IJs get a gold/green color to them that they don't have as hatchlings. I would say my girl is 5 1/2 to 6 feet. She should be pretty much full grown now.

Here are some pics from when I first got her.

Here is my most drastic color change though.
