CB babies - irian jayas and meraukes

Postby hurricanejen » Tue Jun 24, 2014 8:51 am

Wanted to gush about the babies at work a bit :)

Gonna go through again today and take more pics, but here's a couple of the baby Irian jayas born in the last month that I'm holding back. The male is super pretty and red, the female much more drab, and it's cool to see that the babies seem to have picked up more of dad's coloring.

Baby one - they are all full of *tick and vinegar, too, cracks me up
Image

and baby two - sibling, normally the same as baby one, but this just goes to show you how big a different a shed can make with coloration!

I'll update this with more pics later this afternoon :) I had baby northerns born at home too, and there's two very gravid northern girls here as well, so tons and tons of babies these days!! A note for mine/the one or two baby IJs, if anyone wants em, visit the LLL website (http://www.lllreptile.com/) - that's the only place to get em. Check nonstop starting Thursday, that's when I'm sending em over.

Everything after this...baby skink gushing! hurray! :) back in a flash

Here goes!

So, the meraukes. Does anyone else lecture animals about growing fatter before they grow longer? These guys eat non stop and they just keep getting longer!

Anyway, babies! Growing like weeds, and super pretty too :)

Baby Irian Jayas - I lied earlier, that one is darker, I had it mixed up with the other one. It's like taking a photo editor, lightening, regular, darkened

Plus bonus quick pic of one of the other meraukes - hopefully gravid! If not gravid, then bordering on obese...

Are all of those your holdbacks? I love that Merauke pictured in the middle. I love how orange he/she is!
So you're going to Northern babies available possibly on Thursday, and what else?
