Babies (most) post-shed

Postby Susann » Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:18 pm

Are y'all sick and tired of me yet?

First I have to celebrate; got my first baby-tongue-shot today! :banana: :woo:

Went to clean them out and feed them this morning, all except #1 had shed!!! (All at the same time? :? Weird.) On closer inspection, I can't find any shed in #3's tank, and the pieces are so teeny-tiny that I can't imagine him having eaten them all. (Could he?) But he looks so much lighter! I don't know...
Anyway, figured this was a good time to get some new shots, so, here goes!

Thanks for the pictures! It almost appears that their bandings are staying the same size as when they were born (appears to be staying thinly banded)! They are all beautiful!

I always think that the thin banded meraukes are the lookers, especially the uniformed ones.

Must've missed something... because these baby photos are a huuuge (but delightful) surprise to me! Congrats Susann! They are all quite stunning!

#3 definitely had NOT shed at the time. He has now. :shock: Colors are stunning! #3 and #5 look almost identical in pattern and coloring, except that #5 is larger.
I don't know if Milo fathered all of the babies--no way to know since J.J. also mated with the mom at the same time--but I'm fairly certain he is the father of #3 and #5. Pattern and colors are similar to Milo's, body-build is similar, they have by far the calmest temperaments, and are the biggest. #5 at the latest check-up was 9 1/2 inches long and weighed over 50 grams. At 4 weeks old!

I am also celebrating that #1 is EATING! FINALLY! First poop today, and then he snarfed down another meal! Ate more than #5 did! :shock:

I cannot tell you guys how much I am enjoying these little guys! :love: Watching them grow differently, both in size and temperament (#4 is a fire-cracker!), watching their different colors emerge. :love: I'm in love 6 times over!
