Hey everyone, I just went to the Hamburg Reptile show last weekend and bought me a possible pair. I know the large one is a male, and the smaller one was sold to me as female, but I have my doubts. I will wait until she grows up, I'm hoping it's a female.

Here is the male. He does look a little rough. His first night he ate 4 crickets and a pinky. He hasn't eaten since though..

Here is the possible female, she hasn't eaten yet.

And yes they are seperate until I verify the sex and they are the same size. Plus they are in quaranteen.

I bought a 35 gallon tank with a crack for $15! I have it split for them.

Now the males side

And the females side

I'm going to get a red heat bulb tonight so they have a constant temperature at all times. Their night temps go down to the lower 70s.

What does everyone think?

Don't look like many are around guess December is a busy month I have many different lizards but no fatties, just popped in to say congratulations on your new kids, very pretty.

I wish you all the best with them and hope you continue to post pics for us. Should be some other fattie owners around soon, hopfully you can compare notes!

Take care
