Calumma malthe--The Ugly Duckling Who Became a Swan

[jajeanpierre]

This little ratty girl was imported just a couple of days before Christmas and I bought her the next day. She was the smallest and most beat up of the group I bought. The other females I bougoht all had pretty blue ears and eyes. She was just a ratty little brown thing. Here she two days after I bought her:

Yesterday she started a shed and popped a shed the way a baby does. I've never had anything other than a baby shed like this:

Here is the swan that emerged later in the day. I think I'll have to change her name to Ducky.

She is wonderful Janet! She finished her shed very quickly. That is always great to see! She was still covered when I left yesterday.

She looks anew now. Calumma malthe is a great species to keep. This is a species I want to keep and have a go at breeding again. The best of luck producing babies with your breeding group.
