I started with 4 but unfortunately lost 2 at 2 months old.

The remaining 2 are doing really well though and both have had their first sheds.

It's been a real experience raising these babies but seeing these 2 looking so healthy has made it all worth it :D

If anyone can hazzard a guess on sexes that would be great :confused:

They look good. They are unfortunately both male, however.

Chris

Thank you Chris. I was hoping that one might have been female. Would have made choosing which to keep much easier!!

Oh wow these are so awesome!!! I have no idea what sex they could be.

Thank you :)

Gorgeous. Where did you get them from?
Im getting a male from showjet95 on saturday.

Thanks. They were born at the reptile shop that my husband runs and he gave me 4 to raise at home and he has 2 at work. My reward is getting to keep one of them :D

Good luck with yours. They really are quite amazing!!!!
 
So exciting! Id tell my hubby Ive bonded too much, im keeping both! haha. Then again.. mine doesnt know Im getting a new cham on saturday...
my hoe will also be a turquiose one. I cant wait.
It will be my first hoe, second cham. I have a male veield.

Good luck with yours!
 
awh! what cuties!! i think male one might get a little more colorful than male 2. thats just a guess :p
 
Netty! :D They are both gorgeous! I think you should keep both after all the hard work you have put in to raising them!:D I just love those knobbly scales on their legs!

Thanks. I think you're right with that. He's always been brighter than male 2 :)

Thanks Tiff....if I could I would. It's going to be very hard to part with one of them :(
 
Does hubby has the other 2 still at the shop? Chris could sex those for you if you post more pictures, then you could keep a male or female which ever you are after. If I could only have one I would go for the male.:D

He does still have them so I'll get him to either bring them home or I'll go and get photos of them there.

My reasoning for keeping a female was that I was told that there is greater success rates in raising babies from CB rather than WC. So thought by having a CB female it would be easier to source a male whether CB or WC. There aren't many available as it is in the UK

Wow they look great, sorry you lost two of them though!

Thank you :)
 
Like rocking horse poop over here, aren't they Netty! Same goes for Carpets too - you don't hear of anyone keeping those either. I think maybe one other member on here is in the UK and keeps Carpets, but I can't remember who it is right now!:eek:

That's the problem Tiff. It's a shame that more people don't keep and breed them. I'm hoping Joanna will breed her pair of hoehnelii and then I could have a female from her :)
