Little one: 535 grams, is a little light and a bit lumpy.

Big one: 1280 grams

RE: New girls...*I hope* ;)

The bigger one has the spaces between the scutes like Makidash, that means she's been overfed (as Terry told me). So maybe she's just "chubby" and that's why her throat looks like that??? Just a guess!

Anyways they are LOVERLY and I'm soooo happy for you!!! Envious, even! LOL! I can't wait to hear the executive decision on their gender! If you should ever part with one, LMK please oh please!

Now to find some males, eh?!?!

They look great Anja Big Grin glad you've got them now. The larger one is definately a female, but I don't think you need to look far for a male. The smaller one is looking male to me. Wink

RE: New girls...*I hope* ;)

OK I got a pic of the big ones tail out, she tucks it up tight if you try to touch it. lol Im guessing girl. Terry? Danny?






Dee these were listed on Craigslist here locally. The prices were decent, as the lady was just tired of taking care of them. She also had a 1.5yr old Sulcata that she wanted $80 for but I passed on that one. hehe She had them living in a 40 gal glass breeder tank WITH the Sulcata AND a Yellow Plated lizard. They had a thin layer of substrate which was very sparse and a small cat litter pan used for water with part of the side cut out so they could walk in it. She actually did have a UVB light on them surprisingly.
