My new Female Ambilobe and future breeder

[Lpsouth1978]

I just got my female ambilobe. I got her as a future breeder to go with my Remy. She looks healthy and well cared for. I was told she is 7 months, though she seems really small to me. Remy is 8 months yesterday and weighs in at 61 grams. She is only 20 grams. I was expecting a female that was closer to breeding age and size, but I guess I will be waiting a while longer than I expected before taking that step.

She is now in her new cage and I am letting her settle in before bothering her. I gave her a good number of roaches in a feeding cup, in case she is hungry, though I know she may not eat for a few days. Here are a couple of pics, though not very good ones. She was quite stressed already so I didn't want to bother her too much.






This is her sire followed by Remy (her future mate)

Thanks kath! I am just letting her get settled for now. I will start interacting with her regularly in a couple of weeks. Until then, just the basics.

UPDATE:

Skye is doing great. She is done with her treatment for the RI. In the first 8 weeks that I had her, she only gained 3g. She was 20g when I received her and when I weighed her today she was at 34g. That means she has put on 11g in the last 2 weeks. She still has a lot of growing to do before she will be ready to breed, but I am in no hurry.

She also seems to be developing her mature colors. She was showing A LOT of peach today. You can see some in the pics, especially in her lateral line, but she changed colors quickly when the camera came out. You can also see some nice greens and even purple spots after she calmed down a little.

Now for the pics:
