Thanks, those are pure caymanensis.

Great pic Joel. I was on Grand Cayman a few years ago and saw alot of lewisi, but none with that deep of color. Was that pic taken during breeding season? Were other males that deep also?
Thanks for sharing

Mark, thats mine, thats Duke last Sept. He was outside right after my rhino was out. I have never seen him go that color. Its a weird color I think because he is a caymanensis x and has brown and rust and the thick chevrons. So that and the bit of blue give him a darker shade. I only see this color if he is outside and roaming. The color is not retouched

the photo in the reply is a pure lewisi from GC. I selected accidentally and couldn't get rid of it. How do you remove a picture from a post before you hit "post"?

I'll go with blue too. This is Liz my female Lewisi Hybrid. The red on her nose is from the mouse she had just eaten.

And my Male Lewis breeding a Cayman/Cuban cross.

You have some very nice animals Manny. How often do you feed your Lewisi Hybrids mice?

Manny Apr 17, 2008 07:17 AM

Thanks, I do not feed them too often and in no specific frequency. I usually feed them mice, crickets, meal/earth worms, etc.. just before and after they lay eggs. It's just a little extra calcium and protein to help recover after the stress of breeding.

Partial to the Blue myself. Here's my boy.

NICE!
