LOL Hey Shes a beauty Jason. Great pic one of the BEST !!

I believe you have a lovely C. Bicinctores lady there, and you are not seeing any inguinal patches , because only the males have them.

Her collars are complete, and color and pattern are Indicative of C. Bicinctores also !

Shes very healthy looking !!!

Do your lizzies enjoy pinkies? None of my collareds seem interested in them. I stopped trying because I hate fishing dead pinkies out of their tanks! Very sad!

Everybody is doing great, Bonita brumated herself but Vegas didn't want to sleep and I didn't make him. I decided I really don't have the room for babies so I just let them do whatever. I am interested in getting another female though.
My baby Fiesta isn't growing. I can't figure it out. He is in good weight and eats like a horse, but he doesn't shed very often and he isn't getting any bigger! He is finally developing orange juvie stripes and blue color. Yay!

as for any of my collareds liking pinkies,well yeah they seem to like em,but getting them to eat them is a different story.They dont recognise the F/T pinkys as edible i had to force feed for a while but now when i pick em up and put the pinky near there mouth they open up and i just pop it in there mouth,then they eat itThis little female is my favourite mainly because i bought her as a hatchling and raised her up.i wish the feeling was mutual of course,but she kinda sees me as that dude with food,and always trys to eat my fingers,which would be kinda cute if it wasnt for the fact that those jaws are more powerful than they look.On another note i watched a documentary about lizards and saw a collared chase down a long tail llizard (unknown sp.)really deserved the name mountainboomer in that clip

Bonita, my female loves to eat lizards. I catch small green anoles and skinks and fatten them up before I give them to her. I feel really bad feeding her other lizzies, I kept one of the green anoles, he had too much personality to kill! She only gets them a couple of times a year, but she relishes them.

That female is real nice looking, good job!
