Hello all,

I haven't had much time to play with the camera lately but I did find myself home from work today which allowed me to capture a few decent images.

U. lineatus neonate

I took this little one out for her biweekly checkup and she's nearly doubled in weight since I acquired her. She's up to 4.3 grams now! :p

This was my first attempt at trying to get this shot. Although it didn't come out as sharp as I wanted, I figured I shouldn't push my luck and left with that one. She didn't like the camera in her face at all....

Enjoy!

Hey Luis why no quad pictures?? You know I need to see other to verify yet again Jet is the best little quad in the world. Now that little Montium does seen to be calling to me. What a lovely baby. Got any more of them? They are so tin and so perfect. Beautiful photos.
 
Wow luis, Your uroplatus lineatus neonate looks amazing, awesome to see C.H uro's. Both of your chams look fantastic. I am hoping to aquire a deremensis sometime in the near future. I got addicted when i saw kents for the first time, shaking the tree like a little monkey before she was going for her food:D

:eek: Wow! Your uroplatus lineatus is stunning! What a beauty!:D The tongue pic is also very cool, I'd be really pleased to get a shot anywhere near that good, lol!:D
 
Thanks again everyone!

I think I have most requests covered here....

Klemins, I haven't taken many of the Bradypodion for a few reasons. First, my camera really doesn't agree with them. I'm going to attempt another shoot with a newer model, but with the same lens's to see if it makes a difference at all. If it does, it may be a good excuse to upgrade. ;)

Second reason is, the younger male (shown below) had a large abscess on his head that required a very invasive removal. He's healing great and really has turned around. Honestly (and knock on wood) I didn't think he was going to make it through. For such tiny creatures, I've found this species to be tough as nails, and I mean tough! I don't normally bother the female even though she doesn't seem to mind the occasional handling, but I really don't want to stress her if she's close to dropping any babies (or whatever it is she's carrying around).

Any how, here is a shot of the younger male last night...

Now Laurie, this one is for you. While I respect your loyalty to you quadricornis, I share the same affinity for mine. :) Don't ask me how I was able to grab two shots like this, but I'm chalking it up to the fact that I was having such a bad week (more on that in a bit) and the stars felt like giving me something to smile about. This female is the smaller of the two from Josh.

Now this week has been very challenging for a few reasons but yesterday I was very upset. Upon my normal morning routine, I found the cage lid for the U. lineatus neo was cracked about an inch and the little one was gone! We couldn't find her anywhere and we both had meetings to attend that morning so I figured I would find her later in the evening. Luckily that was the case. She was sleeping very comfortably atop of the one of the T. deremensis cages about 1/2" away from one of the UVB lights in our rack. I swear, these U. lineatus can sense UVB like any chameleon. Simply amazing...

Of course, after such adventures, I do a full routine examination. She hasn't put on any weight, but neither has she lost any. I haven't witnessed her eat yet but she still seems very active and alert and doing well.

Great pictures, Luis! Very nice job with the uros, as usual. Of course, if it was me, I would have skipped the meeting and looked for the baby. (and that has happened in my household before....;))
 
Normally I would skip any meeting I can, but I've missed a few too many these past few weeks due to reoccurring car trouble so I didn't want to push it. After all, it's what is allowing us the luxury of working on these projects until we go off on our own. We did look for a good hour and she most certainly wasn't where we found her in the evening. They are still relatively active when the lights come in the morning so I'm sure she had an hour or two of wandering before she settled under the lights.

Thanks,

Luis
 
You know Luis I just need to come to your place and bring all you reptiles home!! Not only do you take the most excellent pictures but you raise beautiful animals. That little Uroplatus is amazing. The color ans clarity in your picture make me want to grab him, and those are not creatures I usually get excited about. Every one I have owned hubby and I have seemed to scour the house looking for. Some days you hate a big house, but it does give me room for all your reptiles.:D
 
Awww, Luis, you make me cry. The male b.T reminds me of lichen, way too cool. Laurie thinks she has the prettiest quad but we all know better don't we ;)

The little uro is adorable. I am losing count of your hatchlings. LOVE the feet.
 
Thanks everyone!

Laurie, good luck trying to get through this guy.... ;-)

Amy, no need to count any further! So far only one has hatched. The other 5 are set to hatch in about 6-8 weeks. :)

I'm really getting attached to the Bradypodions. Hands down some of the nicest animals I've worked with. With their cryptic palettes of darker hues of greens, browns, grays and of course the brighter oranges...just stunning little creatures.

Thanks again for all of the compliments,

Luis
 
Thanks!

Yes, it was silkworm feeding day. There were five or six huddling together. If you look close enough, you can see one flying off to the left.
