#4--Sam

Postby Susann » Fri May 24, 2013 1:26 pm

Finally cleaned out Jazz's tank, and moved in #4 ....or Sam as the kids want to call him.... and that would make #1 Frodo :? We shall see.
Most of Jazzy's hides and thing are still being "decontaminated", so it's a little empty in there.

Sorry ML, I know you want more pictures of Dakota, but don't you think the other people have seen enough?

Yeah, that one is my bad, I spelled it with a D by mistake because I used to have a dog named Koda. I really wasn't offering pictures of Dakota Nivens! :lol:

Yup. I'm trying out the Sani-chips. This is the first tank I've put it in, so I can't say yet if I like it or not...

I would say that the middle of those pictures is the closest to what he looks like "in person". He is a truly amazing color that just does not come out in pictures. The closer to shedding he gets, the darker he gets, but after he sheds he is stunning! (These pictures are taken a couple days after a shed.) The orange still at 1 year old is carried almost to the tip of the tail.

....you know, the more I look at Frodo, the more I'm thinking s/he's looking more like a girl. So until I see "jigglybits" pop out my kids say I can call her Rosy. (Because, I guess Sam marries Rosy ...Rosie?) So Rosy it is.

How does Rosy look? AMAZING! Like Sam (#4) except lighter, and her stripes are surrounded (shadowed) by these dark pink/reddish salmon colored scales. They are unreal! Valley Reptiles called it a "fiery" look, which describes it well. Again, pictures just don't capture the color well at all, but the picture in my "My Bunch" thread (Rosy is #1) shows the "shadowing" a little bit.

They really are spectacular in person. They seem to be getting brighter the more they settle in over here.
