New pics of one of my mangroves

guamturtle Aug 25, 2005 01:37 AM

This is one of my mangroves. I found it interesting becasue he is totally different from the typical description of indicus. He is not nearly as flighty as my other mangrove and he also tail whips me and puffs up alot when ever I am cleaning his cage. My other indicus will just run away and try to hide. This new one is definitely a lot bolder.

This was taken back in May, when I first got him. I put him in the bucket for future size comparisons.

This pic was taken at the end of last month about 3 months later. He has grown some.

Yours are much different in color and pattern then what I see come in here. Sort of reminds me of the indicus from aru.

Keep up the good work with them. They sure are some lookers.

BTW not all of my indicus are flighty either. My male is very skittish and hides and runs from me. One female is bold and bitey, tail whips, etc., the other female is much calmer and can be handled easily.
