Pattern/color progression in Meraukes.

Postby Susann » Sat May 16, 2015 6:24 pm

I have posted these pictures before, but as more people are having success with breeding Meraukes, I thought I would post these again. Hopefully help to give an idea of what a little one may turn into as it grows.

Some of the pictures as adults or juveniles are not mine but are posted with permission. If any of the current owners have more recent pictures or know the sex for sure, that might be fun to add. :thumbs:

I'm down to 5 adults :)
Right at this moment I do have 8 babies as well and a juvenile that is leaving when I start shipping babies. That's all.

Great topic. Its so interesting to see the drastic changes from babies to adult. Looks like it can be fairly challenging to guess how they will end up.
