Fun Question:

Sunshine Sep 05, 2005 08:45 PM

Since I didn't keep any babies last year I thought I would keep one.

These are my favorites and it doesn't matter what sex it is.
Help me decide please.

....I think Iman has the right idea. I would keep several that look like the PICs here. Like Dave posted wait awhile for them to shed a few times and you will get a better indication of their color. I like the crescents on all three of them.

Hey Linda, this is always the fun part.

First of all, I don't usually make any decisions pre first shed. The colors are muted and don't really show. I'd advise waiting for them to all shed before making your final decision.

With that said, it's also hard to pick based on pics where they're curled up in a ball.

After all that.......#2 I like the unusual back patterns.

When selecting keepers, I first base decision on coloring and secondly on patterns. I like to have a unusual pattern within the first 3 or 4 back patterns behind the head. I use these to tell similar animals apart.

As Dave suggested I will wait for 1st shed. I cannot keep more than 1 (and really don't need one). They are already sold minus one I'm keeping and one sold locally. I impulsively purchased one that should be here on Thursday. Darn the internet and credit cards!

Thanks
