I wasn't going to do it. I promise I wasn't going to get another animal until I got my retic (eggs were cut the other day....) but I just couldn't pass up the chance to actually see them, hold them, and interact with them. I went prepared to get one, but knew that if I felt it just wasn't the right animal for me, there would always be another chance later.
The guy brought out the girls he had. Two of them were a bit jumpy and one was showing a little bit of defense. However, the one girl that immediately caught my eye was just kind of doing her own thing, not being bothered by the big humans that were handling her. She showed no fear, no defensiveness or anything. It wasn't until after I saw a bit of her personality that I noticed her colors and pattern.
OMG is this girl stunning to me! Now, I don't know much about the different morphs of the borneos or bloods, but this girl has a really long stripe down her back with colors that just screamed at me, as well as some speckling toward her belly. The guy says she's het for granite, but I don't know enough to begin to know if he told the truth lol. I don't care but if it's a visual trait, I'd like to know if that's what makes her look like she does.
Anyway....without further ado, meet my new little one. She's unnamed but I'm open to suggestions. Right now I have her in a tub I hope is small enough as from what I understand, they like small spaces at this age. I'll offer food tomorrow since she is due to eat. Then I'll let her settle in better before any more handling sessions. But she promises to be a great pleasure to have and work with.
New Girl!
