The difference a shed makes

I know lots of us have heard of animals being offered as anerythrystic or silver etc but really those animals are just in shed. Rollie kind of amazes me how much he lightens, so I thought I'd post a couple pics to show the difference it can make!
Pre-shed:
Normal:
On an off-topic note, Rollie just surprised me. Got him in May, assuming adult and pretty much full grown at 23". Just measured him and he is almost 25" long - so has grown considerably and is LONG.

How long is your longest? I thought anything above 23" was long but it seems a couple of mine have added length this summer and are pushing that mark. I couldn't believe Rollie passed 2'. Even Kira, who I thought was a muchkin, has grown this summer and at 4 years is now about 23".

Yeah, I got him sometime in May. I had to check through old emails to be sure! Why?
Edit - Nice avatar Brad!

Didnt you tell us about him like a month or two ago? You must inform us whenever you get a beauty like him as soon a possible.

Have I mentioned what impeccable taste in blueys you have?

It seems most people comment on the Northerns, but I really love the Meraukes (and I have to admit that Rollie is just gorgeous).
Don't worry - I don't keep new acquisitions secret for long at all! And I really don't think I could be accused of being stingy with the pictures.
Look at that tail!

Right before my trip I fed all the skinks and was shocked by how grey Canasta was O.O There was no color on her at all. Now of course she's shedding and back to her normal self. I'll have to get photos of everyone before they start going down for their winter naps.

Oooooh, that'd be a good comparison shot for the photo trickery area on the C.S...
Gorgeous!
