One year now - pic heavy

Can't sex Benny yet, but thankfully haven't had any flashing, yet. So gender neutral still.

Thanks for all the comments/compliments. I really love Benny's look too. Developing spots on the skin now around the neck and top of the legs (won't let me get pictures though)

I don't know if this would be considered a blonde. Maybe a more veteran keeper could answer that question?

I'm hesitant to call any Leopard "blonde" until it's past the 12" mark. I've seen some that go through a blonde phase but then look totally normal after a few more inches of growth.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess we have to wait a bit longer to see where we end up

As promised more pictures. He wouldn't cooperate for measuring. Sorry

This is one lovely looking Leo.....

He is very light. If he stays that light even past the 12-13" mark...personally, I'd refer to him as a blonde or high white.

Some perspective shots of Benny during his bath today. New growth continues to come in mostly white with some black spots.

I have also noticed that his plastron has started to concave into his body - so I'm preparing for the dreaded flashing

Yeah, I'm pretty much in love with my baby's shell. I like different/unique so a leopard was perfect
