Introducing Paisley *James Wilson*

Postby Alicia P » Wed Aug 07, 2013 8:34 am

Yesterday a package arrived
Image Image Image

And inside was the cutest little baby! Who we named Paisley and will from now on be know as a she.
Well at least until she grows up and proves otherwise ;)

We put her in her tank and left her alone for the day. She had started shedding right before James sent her out and he told me to give her a little soak. I didn't get any pic's but when I went to get her out she huffed and hissed at me. It was the most adorable thing :love: her shed all came off and back into her tank she went for the rest of the night.

This morning I decided to offer her some breakfast. I was worried she wouldn't want to eat.

It was an unfounded worry, she ate about 3/4 of the scoop I gave her.

Full and "hiding"

The missing scales on her head happened before James sent her and he assured me all would be well after another shed or two.
Also I will start adding fresh veggies into her food in a couple of days, I want to get her eating regularly first.

Very nice! I just purchased a baby from James as well, pics are in another thread. It would be great to see how these two grow over time! :D

Congrats. what a cutey. OMG I am so glad I didn't have to have my bluey shipped. I know they do fine but its so sad to see them in that little container. My Naxos is from James last year. I got to go to his house and just pick him up and bring him home. :) James babies seem to have great appetites. Make sure you start mixing the dog food with greens at every feeding then you won't have a picky skink.

It's like Christmas with all these James babies around! You have a lovely looking baby there, with a great appetite for a little traveller. Hopefully you'll have no trouble getting veggies into him and he'll grow up nice and strong.

Thanks everyone! I bought some arugula last night when I went grocery shopping & I'm planning on adding a little bit into today's meal offering.

Dakota I can assure you she was not eating ice cream in the pic's I posted :lol:

Paisley *James Wilson* new pictures

Postby Alicia P » Wed Aug 28, 2013 11:37 am

Took some new pictures of Paisley today :)
On 8/8 I weighed her at 65 grams and today she weighed in at 106 grams.
She has gained 41 grams in 20 days, does that sound good?
