Update on Curly

[Surf_420]

ok so i wanted to show everyone an update on our first ever pigtailed hatchling that we hatched out early this year.

she was a small hatchling, and has taken a while for her to put on some weight. but she has and the pigtail has straightened out with the fattening of the tail.

she also had a small amount of underbite, which is now gone.

she is a pet only, will never breed her although i dont think that it is genetic.
there was a temp flux one day in the incubator when she was bating.

mother -- htct
father-- shtct

hatch pic--- 1-3-08

still smaller than siblings

finally hit 24 grams
loving the mealies now

another shot of the previous "pigtail"




and lastly a shot with trevor, our newborn son at 3 1/2 weeks with his gecko curly




i can only imagine with the next 6 months worth of shedding, she will be a beautiful "hypo" .

ENJOY

Curly looks to be doing well and I hope that Trevor will carry on the passion for herps.

Both of your babies are quite adorable. Congrats.

Ditto-I now that the "pig tail" is not a desirable trait but she sure was cute with it as a baby-lol

She is going to be a beautiful pet gecko
OH-BTW-your son is adorable!!
