Yes, though you’d never guess and she won’t admit it, Stella does seem to enjoy having her chin and cheeks gently stroked and sometimes her flanks. I just have to get past the bitey bits.Lovely vids and beautiful couple, shows exactly their personality. But, after all the hissing and biting they eventually like it to be stroked between the eyes or under their pouch

Thank you. Stella got her patterns when she was somewhere around 6 months old, give or take a month.Those are her resting patterns. When she’s been receptive is when she turns the color on. Here she is sneaking a peek at her forbidden love. It’s an old pic and sadly, he passed a couple of years ago. She hasn’t been receptive or laid any eggs since. They never mated.When do the females actually start to get a pattern on their skin? Stella is so beautiful.
I just love her. Jade does not seem to be very colorful at all. Supposedly she is 7 months old, but I never see any yellow on her. Every so often when she is roaming around the cage she looks like the first photo, but when she is just sitting on her stick she's as dull as an old barn door.Thank you.

She’ll get there eventually. Stella was the color of mud most of the time when I first got her. I was still quite new to keeping when I got Stella, so she matured earlier than had I been keeping her temps and diet under better control.I just love her.

ah.. so earlier maturity affects their pattern earlier? I have been following all the details here so closely, and really trying to keep her basking temp at 79. I did cut back on her crickets from 6 little ones a day to about 4 a day, but these are a little bigger. She doesn't have any problems munching them down quick so they are not too big. But when I was giving her 5 she didn't eat them all and I would end up taking one out at the end of the day anyway. I just don't want her to have too many eggs too early. She doesn't pay any attention to her egg bin, and stays away from it.She’ll get there eventually. Stella was the color of mud most of the time when I first got her.

Well, kind of. They develop their colors and patterns when they reach sexual/reproductive maturity and with their very first receptive period. You may be able to see some early hints of what they are when she gets ticked off/stressed, but they come and go until she’s ready to reproduce.ah.. so earlier maturity affects their pattern earlier?
