Comparison

Postby JWSR » Sat Oct 06, 2007 11:37 am

If I don't put two of these pics of Irwin together every once in a while, I don't truly realize the difference a month or two can make.......unbelievable!

3 month birthday, Less than two months ago: 202 gr. - 13.4" long
Image

Today, he'll be 5 months old in 6 days: 364 gr. - 16.79" long

Gonna need a bigger weight tub.......soon! :)

:rofl: My thoughts exactly Tattoo! :lol:

Russ, You may be confusing Irwin with Bindi (looking like mom).

Bindi is Zachs baby,"Shelly," from Slurpy and Sassy, sibling to yours. Irwin is one of Ray Gurgui's northern babies. This post of Rays, the day Irwin was born, explains which of his breeders are the parents. I don't understand it, but maybe some here do. It looks like Jenn has something to do with this line.

More babies !!! Got 9 Northerns today, the mom is one of Morganas babies from Mork & Mindy the real pale ones. And the dad is one of the new bloodlines I added last year ( Christifers dad owned by Jenn ) So this is a new completly different bloodline than any of my other original ones ! N-F6 (m&m) X M4
YAAYYY !!!!!!!!!!!

I did get pictures from Ray of the parents before I ordered Irwin, and they are two fine looking skinks! :D

I'm not sure but I think he put that stripe on there to measure him. It's some free measuring software you can use. Someone posted the website on a previous thread. :)

You're right, I was confused, but not with Bindi. I was thinking Irwin was a Peach or Pearl baby.
