VPI T-POSITIVE SUNGLOW MOTLEYS!!!!!

NUCCIZ_BOAS May 03, 2012 03:38 PM

With a twist no less! I'm no expert on recognizing jungles, but these SCREAM jungle to me. A few look to be T-positive Jungle-motleys! What do you guys think?

I got to watch them be born. Walked in the room and saw the tail waving, then the magic began!

I apoliggize for the terrible pics. I was so excited that I was shaking. I actually dropped the camera a few times, and other times my fingers couldn't stay still long enough to let it focus!

Here's the stud male:

Here's them doing the deed:

Gravid mom last week, this picture you should all remember.... I haven't gotten a baby count yet, but it looks to be around 20-25

AND THE MAGIC OF TODAY!



A motley!


I won't lie, I was getting nervous. The first 6 or so babies were born without a single visual t-positive.... Until this little guy. Can't tell if it's a sunglow or a sunglow motley yet, I'm leaning towards motley as I'm getting to see it better

Then a bunch more normals and motley normals:

Then there was a brief pause in the action. She clearly was trying to pass a slug. she had trouble for a minute

Once it passed, the visual t-positives flowed out like a stream! one on top of another! T-positive Motleys, sunglow motleys, etc!








Now comes the jungle argument.... Look at the tail on this lil fella! Its colors are like a rainbow! (theres more argument to the jungles, keep reading...)

LOOK AT THIS GUY!

A sunglow motley! =)


More evidence supporting my jungle argument.... Is this a t-positive jungle-motley? It sure as heck looks it!

A nice hypo motley het t-positive-

Last but not least.... This last picture has 3 animals that have jungle traits. What do you guys think? I will get better pics later when I pull them out and we can decide. But at first glance, I think i've got jungles on my hands????

And that was about all of the pictures I could get before mom said "ENOUGH!" and lunged across the cage trying to kill me! Funny how I gave her all this bedding to hide the babies. She even made a nice nest in it yesterday, then she hides herself in the nest and drops babies out in the open.... silly girl!

Ended with only 2 slugs which were stuck together!

Thanks for looking everyone!

Tony

There are a couple other Hypos I think in the top right corner that do look like they might be Jungles too.
