[Colin]

heres another couple of 3 month old hatchies from a different clutch SXR line.

 

[Kurto]

looking good mate, The head pattern on that first one is awesome!!

Those couple of 3month olds are starting to colour up nicely,Colin.they will only get better with age.With your experince with Jungles do most start to get their colours at around 6 months,or longer.Can you usually tell what a hatchie only a few weeks old, or a month old, will turn out like.

I know this was directed at colin, but I have a male that, at a year old was shaping up to be spectacular, but a year later had dulled right out and lost all his colour. But on the other hand I have a female that is 3 yrs old and is still gaining yellow and surprises the hell out of me with each and every shed.

Having said all that generally you can get a good impression on what they are going to turn out like after the 3rd to 4th shed.

Jungles

what month do you guys start cooling your jungles to breed them ?

 

[herpkeeper]

Kurto, you can pick a fugly duckling as a hatchie, you can't pic a screamer as some average animals turn out spectacular, as someone else said, jungles are a bit of a lucky dip, although genetics do play a role in their make-up - hotter the adults the more chance the offspring will follow suit, although this is not always the case as some screamers can produce a few "average" animals..........

[herpkeeper]

Kurto, this animal is a prime example of what i am on about. At 15 months of age it showed a little bit of promise - by 2 years of age it turned into one of the hottest low land jungles in the hobby.
cheers HK.
