Blame Susann For This!

[Ophidiophile]

She not only requested the photos but made the animals in them!

I included some stats on their growth/weights as well. Click on the photos for the bigger, more awesome versions.

Austin: 30 g. at birth 5-21-13; 51 g. when received 6-25-13; now 195 g. empty

Looking good. Rio did turn out awesome. He looks just like my #5. Definitely some of the nicest Meraukes out there.

[Toria Dawn]

I agree Rio is stunning.

[Dakota]

Kentucky is Xaunder's twin. Wow.

[Susann]

Oh my good word! I'll take the blame for that any time!
Rio is just SICK (to use today's young peoples' vernacular)! I may regret giving him up 'til my dying day....
I'm thinking maybe girl for Rio though; almost positive Dakota is a girl.

Thank you for the pictures.

Wow Rio really is stunning-- love the contrast between the bright orange and the black!

Austin and Rio are amazing!

Austin and Rio are amazing!

Those are definitely my 2 favorites. Austin is truly gorgeous in a more subtle way but it's harder to demonstrate in photos than for Rio, about whom there is nothing subtle!
The funny thing is I went back to my first email to Susann and in it I told her I was most interested in Dakota and Kentucky! Of course at that time, Rio was not for sale.

all looking great,developing well

rio certainly is colorful

never be sorry for showing pics,never get sick of seeing pics

[Susann]

Well, Dakota does have that almost reduced pattern that lots of people are looking for.
Is Kentucky really that much lighter, or is he about so shed?

I have to admit, you took me to opposite ends of extreme in the matter of 1 second with the title of the thread; my heart stopped for a second, I thought "Oh my gosh, what did I do this time?!" But then I saw it was made by you, so then my heart started really beating with excitement, hoping it was the pictures I requested.

I am one of the most sarcastic, facetious people you will ever meet in real life (i.e., I'm originally a New Yorker) - hopefully in a humorous way. Hope I didn't give you too much of a fright!
You deserve all the blame for these guys (i.e., credit!!!).

I hope we get to blame her for even more in the future!

[Susann]

I hope we get to blame her for even more in the future!

You and me both!

Rio looks amazing! Beautiful healthy skinks. Congrats!

Dakota, Austin, and Rio all exeeding my expectations.
Does the picture accurately show RIO's colors?
His colors reminds me of the "caramel(t+) albino"indos that were for sale a while ago.

[Ophidiophile]

Does the picture accurately show RIO's colors?

Very accurate.
Of course his color varies a bit depending on where he's at in his shedding cycle but this is how he really looks about 2 days post-shed.
By the way, I should mention that while I do crop my photos and watermark them, I don't alter the colors, exposure or contrast in any way. What you see is what's living in my animal room (and backyard)!
