She is still carrying scars from mating 3+ years ago while in the previous owners possession. Her original partner was lost back then too, luckily I had her son to do the job.

I couldn't find the pics of the parents mating earlier, found them eventually hiding on my phone.

They have had a slough or two now. Lost two of them, dunno why, they rolled over within the first five days after being born.

This one is still on slough.

Those easterns look very nice.

This is off topic but everyone should take a look at the picture with the father and look at the substrate it is on. That is what proper substrate looks like, firmly packed natural ground surfaces, not the loose piles of wooden substrate that most of us use.

Sorry to disappoint, but the photos were taken outside of my reptile shed. I keep this pair inside on sugar cane mulch. My lighting inside the shed is too poor for my camera too focus well. Also my outdoor caging's substrate is made from a mix of round river gravel and sand, to make it as well draining as possible.
