Here are some recent pics of my female xanth with occular horns, Stella.
You can see that her horns are not near as developed as a males, especially her occular. They all shoot straight up as well. She displays these colors 99% of the time nowadays, she was primarily gray and red when I got her 6-7 months ago, then went to the "cinnimon" and then darker jungle green, and now seems to be getting lighter and more yellow.
Chris confirmed her female when I got her and said she was at least a year old if memory serves. So that would put her at about a year and a half now.

I dont have any of her showing red atm. Ill see about getting some tomarrow. She shows the red primarily in her gullular region, a little on her side, and somewhat in the tail. She had never been very personable, but a month ago I got a new baby ambilobe from imcurt. :) I think she must be jealous, because now I have to be carefull! She will literally jump onto me when I have the cages open for feeding/cleaning. :rolleyes:
Since I mentioned him, heres one of Donahue (get it, Don-a-hue) a week after I got him having a cricket. Hes since shed and is looking more and more awsome. I had never seen a panther in real life, and was astonished to see how vibrant this guy was!

John will enjoy the pictures of your Jackson. Horns or no horns, she is beautiful. The colors in the first picture, look like she was painted.

Your panther is already looking great.
 
Love the way the horns are looking. She looks great.

Donahue is looking good. How old is he in that picture?
 
Thanks...

Thanks guys, Donahue was hatched July 24th I believe and he was about 4 months in that picture.
Heres another of Stella showing her red 3 months ago or so, having a mantis, it was the most epic face off Ive probably ever seen, wish I could have got a video of it...

She looks awesome!

Thanks Curt! Thanks again for the little guy as well! :) I finally have access to a decent camera, and want to do a full expose on both of them and everything I'm doing to care for them. I'm moving accross the country on tues. So it will have to wait till after all that. :( I'm fairly stressed about it as its a 25hr drive, but I think I've got everything prepared so it'll be a smooth journy for them, wish me luck!
 
That sounds like drive. Where form and where to? If it were me I would be heading south away from the snow and cold. Have a safe trip.
 
some very beautiful chams
quick question, what type of plant is that in the enclosures??
 
Thanks! Donahue has a hibiscus, pothos, shefflera, palm, and "corn plant" I can't remember the actual name of that one. Stella has pothos and shefflera. Is there a specific one you are reffering to?
 
That is a hibiscus! Which is to my surprize doing very well in the cage! I use a plant light in the cages, but had read that they were harder to keep alive indoors. Since I got it about a month ago, its leaves have got lots bigger, and seems to be doing well, and has sprouted buds! I'm really hoping they bloom. It also seems to be Donahues favorite plant, in the daytime, he only uses the shefflera for sleeping ;) Chendy I like that you named your cham Jackson Pollock! :)
