Ornates are not only beautiful (especially the boys) but are my sweetest personalities also. They never run or hide from me, and are frequently taken to pet shops where they are shown to people. The pet shops love it when I bring them as it shows the general public that reptiles are not the creepy animals that most people think they are. I get the opportunity to talk about them and educate people on care. I don't think you would be sorry if you acquired one for yourself. This is not the best picture, but it was the only one I had uploaded. LOL Good luck!

He is a beauty!

When u take him on 'outings' do u put him in a carry case or does he actually sit on your shoulder and hang out?

I do have a male on order from Audrey Vanderlinden and am thinking he will be blue like yours from the coloring of her breading stock.

Hi Mike,

He goes to the store (usually with one of his girls) in a carrier. Once we get to the store he either sits in my hand or rides in the cart on a big towel I bring along. He is quite the hit, everyone stops to look at him, talk to him, hold him and ask questions. All of this he just takes in stride. His colors are stunning, a combination of turquoise, lemon yellow and lime green. He is so calm and laid back as are the two females. I also have Rainbow Benti, Dwarf Sudanese Ocellated and a Saharan. The Ornates are by far the easiest going, love attention and never mind being held. I know you will love your new baby, they are so much fun and are real charmers. Best to you!
