Sidney the 'Mature' Ambanja

Anybody still around from when I got Sid? He was the start of me getting back into Ambanjas a few years ago. He bred a bunch of times the first couple of years but hasn't strung together more than three head bobs in a row for quite a while now. He's calmed down a lot as he's aged so at least he's handleable now. He is also the sire of Gargamel that everyone knows from here on the forums. I got Sid as a full-grown wild caught in summer 2008 so he must be at least 5 years old now. So this is Sid today, looking like he's about to shed tomorrow, along with one of his grandsons.

Basking and wishing I'd leave him alone:


Handsome guy:




Grandpa



Patrolling from on top of the vertical blinds; mad there's someone using the Rain Dome in his cage while he was away:


It's great to see all the Ambanja's lately!

He looks great! Looks like he's enjoying his retirement.

What an amazing ambanja! They are my favorite for sure.

5 years. Very nice to see he is doing well. I hope you get some more years from him.

Ambanja are awesome. Good looking old warrior Kent!

Sid and I appreciate all the nice comments. Ambanjas have always been my favorite locale and he's a pleasure to have around.

Sid is such a handsome little man. He still looks great! Not a day over three.

Sick.. Grandpa!!! He looks good for 8+ years

I remember old sid still going strong I see, very good job with his longevity.

He may be a senior but that is one beautiful boy you have there. Having one for a number of years is just so rewarding. Just keep on keeping on.

gr8 to see nice ripe aged chams ^^! beautiful.
