almost at the 100 gram mark!

reiko Sep 15, 2003 01:28 PM

considering that on the 12th he was 84 grams and today he is 94 grams, we should be at the 100 mark in a day or two

its pretty exciting, seems like yesterday Carrick hit 100grams, now hes over 500

anyhow the lil guy was on July 3rd, 9 grams and 4.5 inches, now on september 15th, 94 grams and 10 inches! thats a gain of 85 grams and 5.5 inches they grow so fast, its amazing, he looks more like carrick now with that big belly and fat head, not looking like a baby so much anymore..

working great! they all go to the bathroom on the liner side, i just take it out, wash it and dry, then put it back in, keeps things super clean. the other side is bran where they have their hides and basking areas, so that they can dig and get comfy, its all working out really well

yup Chris' dragons do get big quick, how big is foster now? gained anymore weight? hes such a nice dragon...the lil girl you got this year is also very nice, going orange but shes a really nice orange, very bright girl

Yeah, Foster is slowing adding a bit more weight but for length how much more can I expect then 23 inches. He is now 765 grams, and It's been pretty steady give or take 10 grams. In Candy now his future mate that is surprising me she too is 21 inches and over 550 grams. That should be a sweet breeding pair if they decide they like each other come next breeding season. I know Foster would do anything that is female and walks past his cage. It's Candy that has to make the decision, but Anna is also 19 inches and 600 grams, and she's a red/gold German Giant which would also be a nice pairing. So I got options and whatever was meant to be will be. If things were to work out perfect though Foster and Candy would be the pair considering their bright oranges, and the other pair would be my hypo pastel buddy to my red/gold German giant Anna just to add some extra weight and strength to the pastel lines. Buddy himself is no slouch either at 19 inches and 545 grams just smaller body wise then the rest, Don't think he will grow much more at all. His frame is more of a long lean body type. Here is a pic of both pairs. Either way even buddy with candy would be interesting as candy is half snow might get a huge variation in babies

Foster and Candy. I got my fingers crossed for them working out

Buddy and Anna

If they do mate Matt, I hope you remember me and give me a shot at a couple of their screamer babies.......lol.

Mattman Sep 15, 2003 07:50 PM

If they mate I'm sure you'll be right with me talking me through this for the first time, lol. After all these are also fruits of your labor too. You always kept me on your mind when you had a few babies and you knew I wanted one. So now I got a list already if this breeding goes through. I got Chris, Rea (I owe ya one.) And Brandons been hunting me down for a few like Candy too, lol. I hope I get enough screamers to go around =) Now that would be great...Of course I want a screamer myself.

All your animals are so healthy and well fed! I am not surprised that the little one is gaining weight fast and grows quickly. He has SUCH a sweet face!
