Bella - post shed

Postby russman » Sat Oct 06, 2007 8:51 am

Well, I said I'd deliver some fotos of Bella minus her grayscale shed skin.. so here are some from last night. Thay didn't come out quite as clear as I'd hoped, but then again, I wasnt using my good camera. Enjoy!

Lookin good on the wood.

This one isn't so clear, but I like the spots on her neck and wanted to show them off. Ain't she purrrrdy?

Yeah, If I'm not mistaken, she looks a little like Bindi.

I love her left rear foot in the first two pics! It cracks me up when they sit like that befcause it looks so awkward. It looks like it should hurt their wrists or ankles, but I guess thats what they're meant to be like!
Too Cute. She's a gorgeous skink, I love her colours and pattern!

Nah, she didn't eat it all. We like to make a big batch and it usually stays fresh for three feedings (days). I'm finding that if I don't use the chopper and puree the food and cut it up instead witht a knife into bigger chunks, it stays fresh longer and is less messy.

Alright, couldn't help myself. I just gave Bella a warm bath and rub down to remove the bits of shed that still remained on her tail and toesies. They slipped right off, but when I put her back under the heat lamp, she looked stunning, so I had to snap a shot or two. This one shows her length pretty well. That is a 12 inch floor tile she is on.. so I'm guessing she's just a tad over 12 inches.

SHE'S JUST GORGEOUS!!!!!


Wow... you and I have the same sort of basking rock and your feeding bowl... is just like my waterbowl. I also want to know... will she eat all that food?

Watson.. hardly eats part of a small lid filled w/food.

When he gets bigger I am sure he'll eat more. ;)
