This is a bit late, but I got the date completely wrong. So August 22nd was the 7th gotcha day for my beautiful Stella. Hard to believe it’s been so long! While she’s getting old and slowing down here and there, for the most part, she’s doing great. It’s been maybe a couple of years that she hasn’t been able to shoot her tongue more than an inch or so. Lately she’s not always quick enough to grab her food, so I help her as needed. She’s still got a strong grip and is quite agile. She’s also still as active as ever. I will say she has mellowed a bit with her biting. I have to admit to spoiling her quite a bit when I can…little things like the soft white freshly molted roach goes to her, giving her an extra treat on treat day, hand feeding her the pupated black soldier flies as snacks, etc. What good is it growing old if life isn’t enjoyable. 
This was the first pic I took of my girl. Cute but scared little chunk.
She was the most awful muddy color for the longest time. Only when I moved her into her XL ReptiBreeze did she brighten up.
I was shocked at just how vibrant her green was when I took her to the vet. She toned it down by the time I could get a pic. She was almost neon!
Rare moment of not looking muddy and a subtle hint of beauty yet to come.
There it is! She got her big girl colors/patterns and wow!
Hard to get front facing pics, but I just love her face.
Really came into her own. *note the fully stripped hibiscus behind her.
Ahh ha! Sneaky girl! She found there’s a cute boy living next door to her and put on her bright colors to peek at him. This was the beginning of their forbidden love.
She used to do this quite a bit…hang from her tail with her back feet just dangling. So adorable.
As gravid as can be. She laid her eggs the next day.
More Stella to come….
