Profile: Nephrite

[Snakesitter]

This week Living Gems profiles Nephrite. Nephrite was born in July 2010. Like her sister Jadeite (profiled last week), she was a rare acquisition from a small local breeder, made to diversify our genetics with promising local blood. We named Nephrite, as with all Living Gems females, after a semiprecious gemstone.

Here is Nephrite in October 2010, in her deli cup, just after she arrived at Living Gems:


Here is Nephrite as of January 2013, on the occasion of her second (and a half) birthday:

Currently weighing 1168 grams, we expect either Nephrite or her sister Jadeite (last week’s topic) to join our breeder ranks for the 2015 season.
