The colors are definitely nice, but how big are these guys? The first one looks pretty young.

I'd say the second one is for sure, the first looks pretty young, so its hard to say.

ya first one is about 2 months...but just wondering if so far everything is looking good

second is a sub-adult...but probably big enough to breed...haven't got the exact weight, but he's decent size.

I'd say they both look good barring any structural problems. Color is quite nice (I love oranges and reds). Getting them up to breedable size is a long and arduous process if you're impatient like me. I weigh mine all the time and I don't breed animals that are less than 40 grams. This usually takes me like 2 years on a diet of just CGD. Last year I started occasional cricket feedings and that seems to help, but still the WAITING...

haha yeah. I'm impatient too. I used to breed mice and rats so basically I had babies popping out every couple of week 2 months at the longest and babies can breed after a few months to a year tops.
i don't have a scale yet, so no breeding is being introduce.  Right now everyone is separated because these two are from different breeders and I just bought two more yesterday (they're from the same breeder so not like they need to be quarantined from each other, but they're big enough to breed and I want to let them settle before putting breeding stress on them. I'll try and get pictures up of the new ones. Female is the lightest I've seen for sale anywhere so far. Creamy yellow flame on white during day and almost pure white fired up. Male is a chocolate mocha beautiful boy...sometimes he gets super pale like cream other times like a lavender. They're both awesome.

Here's the two new ones. Neither are fired up. I'll wait til they're adjusted to their new home to take good pics.

Female - turns almost all white when fired up. This is the darkest I've seen her.







Male is about a year still some growing to do..beautiful boy though..unique lateral patterns.





I'll get some pictures of them fired up soon!

Tell me what you think =]
