Welcome to Profile 06 of 09 for Living Gems’ 2018 breeding season. Our sixth group pairs Kilimanjaro with Malachite in search of mixed reds.
Kilimanjaro, a dark red male from our September 2011 Hills-Alexandrite pairing, was named after one of the tallest mountains in the world, in honor of his father, who was named after the famous mountaineer Sir Edmund Percival Hillary. The name also fit his baby personality, which was a bit on the volcanic side ;-)…though he has long since calmed down. Here he is as of January 2015:
As of his pre-breeding weigh-in, he measured 2087 grams.
Malachite, a reddish July 2008 female, is skeptical of this whole human idea. While never hostile, she likes to be set down as soon as possible, and will crane for the nearest piece of furniture to try and grab on. Apparently “moving trees” are not her thing. Here she is, in shed, as of July 2015:
As of her pre-breeding weigh-in, she measured 2583 grams.
