everyone has babies...

Or if not babies, you all have babies on the way. It makes me wish I could afford to get another one to give Igor some company. I would be interested to go back to the place I got him from to see if they still have crucigeras. Of course, I wouldn't know what to get because Igor is probably still too young to know if he's a guy or gal. I dream of getting another crucigera so they can make babies, but I'll save that for when I'm more experienced.

So the other day I stopped in at the place I got Igor from. They had one mhd. It was an A. crucigera, and it was very small. Probably an inch and a half (not counting the tail, of course) at the most. Very cute looking, but it probably wouldn't survive.

I M sure you would take better care of it than 90% of the people who would buy it

I doubt that you could be sure at 1 1/2" whether it is crucigera or capra. They don't start to show horns or spines until they are much larger. I would think that at that size it would be newly hatched as my babies have all been 2-3" total length right out of the shell. I wouldn't dream of selling one so small to anyone who hasn't had a lot of reptile experience and even then would be wary.

The reason I called it a crucigera is because of the dark cross on its neck. It looked very very similar to Igor, just a lot smaller.
