oyeah!
it's been a long time since i've had one of these...

 

[DoubleZ]

It's so scrawny!

 

[larry26]

it has very nice markings

 

[spykerherps]

Nice. I don't believe it to be too "scrawny" I believe it is a very young animal I believe that may be a 15 qt sterelite container that it is in . so it makes it look bigger then it is.

nice beaded!

Nice Beaded Lizard Rob! Pick that up at the show?

 

[Gregg M]

It does look a bit thin and slightly dehydrated but it is nothing that can not be taken care of easily in the right hands... Not scrawny for sure... Awesome beaded Rob... Congrats on the new hot lizard!!!

 

[ElapidSVT]

might just be the pose... wrapped around the wwater dish makes the lizard look a little thinner than it is... i did *just* get it and you can be certain it won't be 'scrawny' for long!

i made the deal at the show but picked it up at the shop today.

this shot gives a better representation of the scrawniness

I love the markings on it's tail.
Is it male or female?...or too early to tell yet.

 

[ElapidSVT]

afaik they can't be reliably sexed until much larger... males have much wider heads and longer necks and average 36 inches, females stay smaller at about 30 inches. ultrasound exam is the only way to tell for sure, or observing mating or oviposition.
