I've been taking the group out to get as much sunlight as possible before winter hits the northeast. I had the macro lens out and figured I'd show off the crew. I'm holding back a couple for the calendar competition...

From largest to smallest:

Rafiki!
Neck colors coming in strong

Gotta dig those extra scutes and a strong start to marbeling

Nice hot-pink coloration

Coagi!
Bulging, red Rudolph nose. He(?) is all red!

I really like Coagi's balanced coloration. Nice symmetry on the bottom lip to make that red nose really pop

What a ham

Now for the orange babies:

Mimosa!
Look at that orange! I love the black nares.

Split scutes. Looks like an owl's eyes and beak to me, probably because I'm big on owls.

Disgusted look after too many pictures are taken

Doing much better since being sick, lots of growth! Yep, that's another split scute...I'm into those...

Thanks for looking, hope you're all getting your hardtops outside and having as much fun as I am!

Thanks everyone, we're having fun!

What does"marbeling" mean? Everyone always says it about there RF's and such. What is it?

Some redfoots get white/yellow interlaced within their new growth giving them a marbled appearance. Rafiki's is miniscule currently, but you can find some pretty extensive marbling on pictures of adults from other members here.
