We haven't talked about Trace's girl, who has been in my care for a few months now, in awhile ....
She's doing great ... Although, still single .... she started a shed this morning (second or third one in my care) please excuse her temporary dull coloration. She will be turning 3 in the next few months.
And yes, for those of you who don't know her ... she had a bit of a tail amputation, but is in no way a "special needs" animal.
Her "special need" is for a handsome young senegal buck to enter her life

She looks beautiful, what caused the tail amputation?

Nice update Brad. I've always found the Senegals particularly good looking.
Good luck find her a fella :-)

I'm not sure ... or I don't remember what Trace told me ... probably both

It happened quite a while ago, but she gets around great despite it.

I'm considering senegalensis myself...she is very cute indeed....I hope you can get her a male. How do you keep them personally? From what I've read they are about 12 inches, need a lower than normal humidity, and quite warm basking spot? She has some lovely spots...are these receptive colours? Sorry for all the questions

I keep her the same as the veileds ... she is a big drinker though, so I tend to mist her more often.
Very sedentary species. She will hunt, but prefers when prey passes close by.
I think the females show more yellow when receptive. She gets really bright and spotty when she feels threatened (when I open the cage etc.).
It is very uncommon to find cb senegals. I would love to try breeding her and see if I can have any success. Most of the senegals available (if not all) are wild caught and pretty parasite heavy. She is a long term captive and parasite free.
Kristina has written a great article in the current e-zine if you haven't read it already:

The store I buy my feeders at has a group of Babies on sale for $30 each... I am not sure if they are WC or not but they seem to be all from the same large clutch, Doesn't that normally mean CB? How this store would end up getting their hands on a clutch of CB Sengals is beyond me. Needless to say they are being kept in horrible conditions. She looks nice and Happy Brad... I'll keep my eye's out for you.

I would guess that a large group of young were collected and imported.
That doesn't seem to be too unusual. Much more likely that someone hatching out a clutch. Most people would not even bother with them due to their somewhat (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) dull appearance. They aren't flashy like pardalis.
Hundreds more than we realize are imported and die. The care is not good since the $$$ is not there.

Here's a picture that better shows her coloration.
Sorry it's a "crappy, through the screen" photo.

Glad to see and hear she's doing well.
