My "secret treasure" Gem. No, I will not sell her....

Joel R Jul 22, 2003 11:31 AM

I am sorry to all who saw the male and had said, "if you get a female like that, let me know" Because she is the only female that I have like this,, she will not be going anywhere. Sorry.

Anyway, here she is. She is my "secret treasure", Her name is Gem.

Joel R.

the male is just about to shed so I'll get another pic when he comes out.

P.S. I thought you were only going to have 1 breeding pair?
Doesn't look that way!!! LOL

From all the ones I keep, I will pick the best one or two to keep and sell the others when that time comes. I honestly have no room, or do I want to care for hundreds of babies. LOL
I honestly think that any more than one or two breeding pairs would take the fun out of it. (for me anyway) And if it becomes work I don't think I could keep the personal attachment to them as individuals.
Do not take this wrong, People who choose to take it to the next level can still enjoy it and care for their animals, "I" just am not going to go there. Plus, they are in my front room lol. My wife won't have it. LOL
If I had the facilities maybe that would be a different story.

So, as for now, Of the ones I have held back, you may see them at a show or something in the future? (probably not Gem though. LoL)

Talk to you later.

I understand what your saying Joel. I will soon have 11 beardies but only plan on breeding maybe 1 or 2 pair of the best color. With full time work starting again Aug. 20, I may wish I had fewer lizards. I also have 2 tegu and 2 monkey tailed skinks, not counting 11 dogs with a litter of yorkies on the way. Gee, then I have another class I have to take this fall. Have you ever heard that saying, "people create their own stress", I would say I fall in that category. LOL. I just really love my animals.
Take care,
Karen
