my one remaining CB melleri baby

Alright, I'm getting a little too dramatic with the title, technically that are still 5 baby alive of the clutch I hatched out last year and technically I have 4 CB melleri... BUT only one of my CB melleri is from the clutch I hatched out (and 2 are 3.5 years old now :) ). And that was a very looong way to get to this:

Sybil (named after Sybil Ramkin of Discworld fame)

(s)he hated the camera so it's hard to really take a good picture

And this here is Rincewind (named after..well if you don't know go read some discworld novels ;)), about the same age, but of a different clutch (same daddy, different mommy, you know how it goes). (S)he is the lone surviver of a mystery disease that affected (and killed) 7 of 8 hold-back melleri of my 07 clutch(Sybil was the eighth)

There a feeding cup below him, hence the weird pose. But this is the only pic I have showing his 'normal' colors.

Anyway, just felt like sharing some pics :)

Howdy Suzanne,

It's nice to see something in-between baby and adult Melleri :). I was beginning to wonder if they really exist :). Yours look great.
 
beautiful babbies! :D

Love the Pratchett names...I have some further suggestions on that note for future chams....

Adorabelle (Dearheart)...Tiffany (Aching)....Eric....and Moist (Von-lipwig)...and maybe Sam (Vimes)
 
Dave, yes they do exist, but in my experience they hate cameras!

Heh! I actually named my first panther Sam.
I named all my baby melleri (14 at the time) at one month old. Some the names were: Nobby (Nobbs), Angua, Cheery (Littlebottom), Agnes (Nitt) and (CMOT) Dibbler.

Just like Dave, I was beginning to wonder whether the "in between" Melleri really exist! They are beautiful!
