Here is one of my gals.

Here is a red specimen.

This one gets redder with age.

I have one similar but not as vibrant as yours. She's an '03 who will breed next year.

Yea, I own her. She was a rescue from someone who caught a gravid female and could not get the babies to feed and she was literally on on deaths door when I received her as a hatchling that never fed. She was very skinny with folds of skin, soft and could not even move much. I force fed her a frog leg and she started to come around and then she eventually took to scented pinks and now she takes hoppers and small mice like candy. Odd thing is that I tried to vary her diet recently as she has been on a strict diet of rodents for almost two years. I offered her hog live frogs and toads just a couple weeks ago and she refused them all since she is so conditioned to eating rodents. Perhaps if I left the frogs and toads in there a while and starved her, she would change her condition, but its not worth stressing her at this point. I need a good red male for sure to keep these bright colors going.

Are you going to produce any? Maybe we could trade some offspring?

great looking simus, Mark. Looks like a nice high contrast animal. How are you '04 babies? I have 2.2 left and they are all thriving.
