I was lucky enough to be given the chance to care for Allegra's twins and as I went by them I took a couple of pictures for Allegra to see.

This is how I normally see the twins:



I took them out into the open so you could see them better. As you can see, they are almost the same size with the smaller one not being that far behind the other one.


They just would not hold still for a good picture of them side by side. :(

I am indeed very lucky to have this opportunity. I mean any of her hatchlings is a priceless gift, but the twins are even more so.

They do look great. They also look like they have a great time in those weeds. The one almost looks like it's smiling in the last pic. Also look like they are trying to scramble away quickly:D. Their not the camera hams that's for sure.

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact they get handled very little and for the most part are growing up "wild"... or they could just be like their caretaker... allergic to cameras. ;)

Ha! They look fantastic! I'm so glad you could take them and give them the perfect home. I think it is hilarious that they travel in the green like a pair of ninjas!
