It’s been almost a month since we profiled an adult animal, so I wanted to circle back to that age group. Today I’ll share Agate with you. Agate is an April 2008 female who was a “pattern pick,” specifically tending bullseye. I say “tends” because, like many of the pattern animals in the Brazilian market, she exhibits examples of that pattern without hitting full coverage. She comes from the same bloodlines as her niece Jasper, who we profiled back in December of last year. As of December 2010, Agate weighed a healthy 1690 grams -- enough that we could have bred her, had we preferred not to give our females an extra year and few hundred grams of growth for safety’s sake.

Here she is inside, lazily watching me:

(Notice the big difference between flash off and flash on.)

And outside, lounging in the sun:

(and)

(Speaking of differences…lol!)

Agate will hopefully be a Living Gems Reptiles 2012 breeder.

Thank you for looking,
