These two started out looking very similar. Now at 8 months one is much darker. The brighter one is my keeper female.

Very nice Kent. I actually like them both. The white borders on the blotches show up much better on the dark one and the lighter one is brighter. What to do!!

Kent I would have chosen that one too! It's amazing how they can change so much as they mature.

I like both too, but I have a hard time getting rid of any of my babies...Dave.

Dave,

I have to get rid of the babies, except for a keeper or two. My wife will only put up with so much. Since she is also a keeper, I have to make a choice!!

What is really strange about these babies, is that I still have babies that are only surviving on what I have force-fed them. They are still hatchling size, while the largest are probably 18 inches or more.
