Both SIBs are still doing well, eating and pooping, although I've had them for over 6 months and they each have only shed once....sigh. Darn slow metabolisms. This is Hummus.

I am glad they are doing well for you. Whatever happened with the bumps on their skin? or was that someone elses SIGBs I was thinking of?
I'm totally serious about breeding your males to my female and splitting the offpsring. Of course, it would be SO long off given that they grow so s l o w l y. lol. However, my female is about the same size (maybe a tad bigger) than your males, though its hard to tell for certain without a scale.
Well, gotta run...

Hey Jason! The tan one's skin issues resolved themselves to some degree. The swelling is down, the bumps are gone, but he sloughed off all his scales in that area so it's just white on the side now. I'm thinking it may have been a parasite common to geckos that infected him and being in a different species, got located to a different part of the pysiology. Like Tapeworms can get relocated and form cysts under the skin. He's active, eating, and seemingly healthy. The white SIB did not come down with this at all. I'm right there with you on the breeding hopes! Multiple males seem to be the key, so hopefully they can hook up in a few years. They do grow SLOW don't they??
