Hypomelanistic Eastern BTS. New Pics

Postby Scincoides » Wed Sep 18, 2013 12:46 pm

I got a few good pictures of the hypos today. I decided to take them outside for a bit, and they looked so good that i couldnt resist taking some pics. Here they are. I really think that i have a 1.1 pair. Any genders guesses are welcome. :D

I don't know anything about sexing Easterns, but if my life depended on it, I would guess that they were both girls...
I do know that they are both SICK! :tasty:

I was thinking two girls for a while to, but as they got bigger one developed a broader head than the other. That and the fact that the smaller one has a slightly longer body made me lean toward a 1.1. That being said... im not great at sexing Northerns.. apparently its even more difficult with Easterns. :noknow: But thank you for the compliment :ohyes: They are pretty amazing in person

Their colors actually remind me a lot of my Northern's colors, but with thicker white bands and no dark outlining. They are drop-dead gorgeous animals!

Hard to say about their sexes at present but they are beauties!

Do you know their weights? I know a lot of people on here measure length but I'm more of a weigher. Would be interesting to compare...

Yeah I would like to compare as well. I don't have weights, but I can probably take some when I get home.

:thumbs: I'm moving back it AZ in less than a year- it's nice to know some high quality skink babies could possibly be available locally!!! (if they breed and if you decide to sell any...)
