BenAwes

[Yvonne G]

Last year I bought a little SA leopard hatchling from @ben awes . The baby's name is BenAwes, naturally! I thought I'd put up a picture of it so Ben can see how nicely the baby is growing. First I'll put up a picture when I first got the baby:



That was taken in January, this year. Now here's what BenAwes looks like today, ten months later:



I can't get over how easy it is to grow the SA leopards smoothly.

Kurpow batman, they sure do grow fast don't they? Looks great Yvonne

fantastic Yvonne, Thanks for sharing

He's got dried poop on his carapace...that's what the discoloration is at the front there. I've never had to turn him back right side up, so I can only assume he was able to right himself on his own. Unless a big bird flew by and pooped on him.

Wow ! Growing fast. He is beautiful.

 

[Moozillion]

Beautiful!!!

Sure is smooth and beautiful.

What type of substrate is that Yvonne?

 

[Yvonne G]

I use the fine grade orchid bark. For babies I usually mix in a little potting soil, but I can't remember if I did for this one or not.

From one BenAwes to another, that's one good looking dude!

Great job Yvonne,
Ben Awes

Wow yvonne. Nice looking fella. Im kind of jealous. I would love to get a pardalis pardalis herd going.

 

[Yvonne G]

Hopefully BenAwes is female - it has an extra scute. That means I have 1.2 SA leopards!!

 

[wellington]

Nice, really nice.

 

[diamondbp]

@yvonne do you still have Ben Awes?

 

[Markw84]

Nice looking pardalis. I am jealous.

And @Yvonne G - apparently you weren't feeling well. Glad you are back at the computer and apparently feeling better!
