A Recovered RAPTOR

[Rhacodactyl]

I got this girl as part of a pair from Jason Haygood early last year. Everything was going great until I bred them and then I ran into some problems. She laid so many eggs so fast that she lost a lot of weight and eventually lost interest in food. I honestly thought I was going to lose her at one point, but thanks to some good advice from Jason she was able to make a full recovery. Fortunately, she's been eating very well lately and is now weighing in at over 90 grams. Her coloration has darkened some since the whole ordeal, but considering what she went through I'm surprised she's as bright as she is. So that's her story and here are some pictures I snapped yesterday.

I'm breeding dubia roaches now and she loves them more than anything else. I think if I have any issues breeding her again they'll make it a lot easier to keep weight on her. I've got another female on the way now and I plan on breeding her before this girl sees any action again, so she'll be getting about a full year off before she's bred again.
