and healthy girl!
I wanted to get her some friends and ended up taking on an whole set of rescues!

Anyway, she is looking particularly lovely lately, and I wondered if anyone could tell me where she might hail from, ie, is she eastern, Arizona, etc. Here she was the day I brought her home around the beginning of the year

Here she is now, after munching a big fat silk worm. Sorry about the fuzzy nature of the pic

When she saw me taking her pic, she jumped up on her basking spot to pose, the little flirt!

She is starting to get orange stripes in her sides. Can you tell fi she is an Eastern or a Western?

Your girl sure looks to be a young adult male C. bicinctores/ Mohave desert collared

REALLY???? Eve, either S/he is gender confused or I am, probably me!

Can you post a pic of a dessert boy? I assume he is still very young since he has doubled in size since he's been her? No, that isn't a typo . . .

LOL! The dessert part WAS a typo, but the HER wasn't!

You need to do some vent work, LMAO

PHEve / Eve

He's too skittish, but I should have known something was up when he started frantically digging to get to my little beardie sisters (BBWs! )

He's not gender confused, just SPECIES confused!

I agree with PHeve this individual is definitely a male C.bicinctores. The caudal stripe helps aid the identification as well as the dorsal color. If yoy look under his throat he should have a gular patch of black with A dark green around it as well as black patches starting to come in on his lower flanks on the belly.

Oh yeah, he shed this morning, and I pulled him out, and those black patches are definitely there, on his under thighs and chin! I guess that means he is a young adult male now, well, that and the fact that he is so hot to trot that, in the absence of females of his own species, he has developed a HUGE crush and obsession with the beardie girls next door! LOL!
