My turn for B. transvaalense photos

[Olimpia]

I gave them a few days to settle in before messing around with photos. Yesterday the little male decided to try and make a run for it while I was cleaning his cage floor so I scooped him up for a little bit of afternoon sunshine before putting him back. And then of course I have photos of the female as well in her cage (I guess it's her turn for sunshine this afternoon). She is still nameless, I'm having a hard time deciding on something that fits her (not to mention that Laurie has to weigh in!)

Im soo Jelly rite now!! Great looking animals!!

I like the name Martha. lol ( when i was in college i did a paper on The Passanger Pigeon) and the name has been in my head since.

But it might be somewhat of a jinx, lol. Martha was the last of them , lol

Thanks everyone! The female isn't technically mine, so I'd like Laurie to weigh in on any names she likes or not. Because of that, my boyfriend and I were thinking of naming her Helena, after Helen of Troy, since she's not ours but our male has "borrowed" her for the time being! lol

She's actually shedding today, while the male shed last Wednesday, so I'll try to get photos of her once she's shiny and new.

Congrats on your new little one! Awesome photos as always.

She is with you, so you need to name her. I just go with what fits. You and your boyfriend will make a great choice.

The pictures are all great. Sure wish I could take a few like that.

I have my grandson here who takes better pics than I do so maybe I will post a couple decent one.

They look great!

Thanks everyone! I set their cages up on their own set of Lowe's shelving units today, so they should be much happier than they were on their short little tables. I'm waiting to purchase another 2 cages (have to get ready for those baby panthers, and eventually (hopefully) baby Bradys, after all!) and then I will post new photos of the chameleon room.

Have to say that I'm pretty much up to capacity... So NO MORE OFFERING ME ANIMALS! You know who you are! lol

It's a Canon Rebel XS with EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 Lens, or so it says on the manual. lol

It's the cheapest in the Rebel line, but it does a pretty decent job most days. I have been meaning to buy a super long-distance zoom for it, both for my pets and for wildlife photography when I go on trips to places like Costa Rica, but I could always put a few hundred into something else instead.

 

[Olimpia]

More!

This last photo is him firing down from going all black and white at the sight of the female. He's rearing to go!

Great shots Olimpia! I may have missed it, but do you have any shots of their cages?
