Plastron

[Elohi]

I took some pictures of the trio's plastrons so I can keep track of their changes as well as their carapace changes and patterns.
Beans has a very pretty pattern on her plastron. It's got a lot of dark color, just like her carapace.

Watson has some darkness and Freckles has very little.

In a couple of the pictures I took they are looking at me like whaaaaaaat are you doing, taking pictures of my belly?! Lol
Beans



Watson



Freckles


I think it's hilarious how Beans and Watson are so insistent on keeping their eyes on me. Freckles on the other hand has spent enough time on her back that she just goes with the flow and starts the "flipped tortoise maneuvers". Lol.

I love the variation. Once again one of my favorite aspects of leopards, the immense variation in pattern

They look great. I can't believe how big they are!

 

[Elohi]

Aren't they getting big? Beans is huge! It's hard to believe she was the smallest of my trio when she came.
Here is a short video of her in her soak today. I pick her and give a good 360 degree view of her. She is SO pretty.

Hahahaaaa!

Lol I simply meant he looks like a male. My leopards that are similar in size have much smaller tails

If he is a male, you are in for a big boy just like daddy.

Too bad they didn't drop their tails for the shots but I can still see their length. Those are some pretty plastrons [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
I'm going to ask my friend to send me a few pictures of Freckles clutchmate. The one that's like 4x or more her size. Id like to see his/her tail.

Is that last one a female for sure?

[diamondbp]

I'm not sure yet. I think so at the moment but I might know for sure in a year or so. To me it's shaped liked a female would be but I could be wrong

@Cowboy_Ken
Here are some plastron shots from a while back. And here is Freckles plastron today.


Also one from quite a ways back:

Lady Octobers as well.
I'll post new plastron shots of the other three tomorrow.

 

[Elohi]

Watson's plastron. And his tail is looking awfully stumpy lately...

 

[Elohi]

And Beans plastron:

^^I can't believe his size. He dwarfs the others.
