Yellowhead question on behalf of Kellybe

Rubyshell Jul 10, 2008 09:31 AM

I'm posting this on behalf of Kellybee as she can't get online at the moment.
She has a Yellowhead female which hatched July '07 and is of adult size,she has orange smudges on her neck and Kelly wondered if they could still show juvie bars at this age or is it gravid colouration??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shelly, tell Kelly if she's a year old then she is probably ovulating and is a big girl now. They can mate as young as 8 months so shes seeing her blush/ gravid colors appearing ( I would say)

Has she been in with a male at all?

Hey Eve,

Just logged in at my parents house to say thanks, she has had a faint orange-ish tinge to the back of her neck for a few weeks now, but the last few days it has spread up the back of her head and around her ears. Its not a solid colour though, and its only in the neck and head region, its like someone has smudged orange charcoal and blended it into her yellows !!
