She's a girl :)

I know, it's so bizarre and cool how their colour can change on any given day!

I LOVE your Hog. Love. The color change is amazing :yes:

Wow, she's gorgeous! I love how she only has a few speckles. I have a Hog too, it's really amazing how they change colors during the day. You got some great shots, and don't be shy if you have more to share!

Very nice! what setup and temps are you using? I got lucky and my shop had a 2010 peter rice line female so I snatched her up yesterday, she is 4 feet and very freindly.

I have this girl in a 41 qt bin and she seems to be really happy in it. Congrats on getting your Hog! I just love them. My girl is also really friendly and has never struck at me.

Her name is actually a spin-off of an opera singer called Placido Domingo lol. In latin based languages like Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc, there's no mistaking the gender due to the 'a' at the end of her name instead of an 'o.' :bouncy:

I agree with you that they are definitely amazing animals to keep!

Yes you're right Todd. The first pic is the one I sent to you when I first got her. Compared to the last photo, she has definitely gotten thicker :D

Some photos of her newly shed last Friday.
