:eyebrow:

Be sure to add the vet to the vet list. I'm sure lots of people would be interested in their work!! :hehe:

And yes!! More pictures!!! :D

OK, here are a few pictures of the family. It's hard to imagine, but the mother had two babies this size inside of her. I wish the other one would have made it, but hopefully I will be able to get enough condition on her before brumation time this year so that we can try again next year.

Dad on top, mom on bottom.

Oh geeze, she's adorable! What a completely stunning family :D

I notice the end of her tail is a bit odd, is that normal for babies?

In person, her tail really looks just like the adults. I'm not sure what you mean. Babies are pretty skinny, and their heads look big, but other than that they they are perfect replicas of their parents.

It looks like it has shed on it, or maybe that's just the color change.
