Ripcord's getting to be a big boy!

el_toro Sep 03, 2008 03:59 PM

Ripcord has his two month b-day tomorrow, and has grown from 6-ish grams (at his arrival here a little over a month ago) to a 'whopping' 19g! He just shed yesterday and his tail is showing a lovely blue-green tint. His front legs have a similar dark green with faint yellow striping. He appears to enjoy sitting with his legs all overlapped - but only on the one side. He's just so darned cute!!

He is a monster! What are you feeding him? No ... you must be injecting him with growth hormones! I shipped his brother and sister out last week, and I imagine that they would be closer to 13 grams today. He sure has the red on him, too!! He's looking just great.

Wow. He's beautiful. I love that red color.

Here's the only one of my babies with so much red....not a collared lizard obviously, but I know you all like pictures. This girl's name is actually "Red" and we usually call her "Miss Red".

I bet your boy could make some pretty babies some day. If a line starts forming for those I'll get in line, but I still need more lizard experience. I'm enjoying my collareds!

Miss Red's lovely!

Sadly, Ripcord won't keep his bright stripes - they'll fade out as he matures. Very pretty in the meantime, though!

I think Eve hit on why Ripcord has grown so fast ... he caught a glimpse of the lovely Rory and knows he has to be bigger before he can meet her!
