Living Gems Reptiles is pleased to finally profile the babies from its 2018 “G” litter.
Born on September 16, 2018 to Scarface (a July 2008 high-orange male with almost perfect side crescents)…
Sire
Wonderful character shot as of July 2015
…and Aventurine (a September 2010 high-orange bullseye female)…
Dam
As a baby – note the bullseyes:
As an adult:
…this litter represents the second pairing of these two animals. Their last litter in 2016 was stunning, among other animals producing this holdback:
The babies in this litter took a bit to develop, but then quickly displayed the line’s past promise. In addition to good color, they have very consistent side crescents, with many having fat ones as well. The litter was extremely female heavy at nine girls to three boys, so though I have already sexed twice, I will probably check again one last time to be sure.
All are now well-tested at a year and a half old, with numerous successful meals and sheds. As has been outlined in previous posts, all of these babies come from a disease-tested facility.
As with all LGR litters, we’ve done dozens of handling sessions for each baby, part of our commitment to start acclimating them to humans.
Over the following posts, please find a short profile of every baby in the litter. For each, a short description is provided, noting any behavioral or physical quirks, along with a selection of photos. For dorsal chains, “short” means two to three linked spots, and “long” mean four or more. Please note the term “holdback” means we are keeping the baby as a future breeder. Note we have not chosen all holdbacks yet for this litter.
So grab a cup of your favorite brew, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
