Introducing the Mighty Shelldor! Tremble puny humans!!

[Byronie]

We received Shelldor yesterday from Ben Siegel Reptiles in Florida. He weighs in at 43 grams and I just realized that I haven't measured him yet. He has great coloration and his skin is way more speckled than our first. He is very different from our first tort. He seems to be fearless and very outgoing where our first one was and still is slightly shy... I like him =) We currently have him isolated until we get both check for parasites...

i'm not fully sure the order but it is the #'s of adult males and females then babies. not sure if males or females are first. so if you have 2 males 3 females and 5 babies of a species it would go something like 2.3.5 or 3.2.5. again i'm not sure on the exact order except that babies go last

males are first, then females, then unknown last.

The Mighty Shelldor is a pardalis pardalis. Maybe your other baby is a pardalis babcocki?

Hello and welcome to the forum. I love the name Shelldor. I am guessing that you are a Big Bang Theory fan Great pics, Shelldor is so cute!

Byronie, I just looked at a previous post of yours, and it appears that your other baby is a pardalis babcocki as Yvonne suggested. I could be wrong, or it could be a cross of the two subspecies, but the pics of your yearling do not look consistent with the typical pardalis pardalis markings. I would guess you paid more for this most recent hatchling? This one definitely has the characteristics of a pardalis pardalis.
