so looking at the stubby horns and colors is this maybe a young Machakos Hills or maybe something else? .... the Jackson...
Yea I guess I am just overthinking or looking for issues where none exist...
urates look really good for all the kids so i guess i will keep an eye on this and the normal stuff day /night humidity, temperature diet etc.
