I’ve had her since she was a hatchling in ‘18. She’s the tamest of my group of 3. She loves to bask under her Powersun bulb then move under her log hide when she’s nice and warm. There are times she will spend hours in her hide, sometimes spending the night and still being there when the lights...

This female McCord’s dropped her first clutch ever yesterday. And then promptly ate them.

The first of my young group of 4 that I’m able to positively identify, and she’s a personable and boisterous one.
