Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ramses-Jasper Baby Profiles (2014-C, HH)
(Note this post is best viewed in threaded layout, where available.)
Living Gems Reptiles is pleased to finally profile the babies from its 2014 “C” litter.
Born on November 18, 2014 to Ramses (a September 2010 hypo male)…
Sire
Baby
Adult
…and Jasper (an August 2009 normal female noted for bullseye pattern and dark face)…
Dam
Baby
Adult (Gravid)
…the 13 babies in this litter really shine. They display gorgeous color and amazingly fat, deep side crescents. As expected, a few have bullseyes; as a bonus, a few also show strong dorsal chaining as icing on the cake.
Most have now shed twice and eaten at least six times. As has been outlined in previous posts, all of these babies come from a disease-tested facility.
As with all LGR litters, we’ve done dozens of handling sessions for each baby, part of our commitment to start acclimating them to humans.
Over the following posts, please find a short profile of the babies in the litter. For each, a short description is provided, along with a selection of photos showing their development over the first few sheds, and noting any behavioral or physical quirks.
So grab a cup of your favorite brew, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Thank you as always for reading,

Baby #01 (Female)
This beguiling little lady has several pairs of linked dorsal spots on her back. Her side pattern consists of thick rich crescents, with one merged spot on her right. After tasting frozen/thawed for her first meal ever, she has since displayed a stubborn, princess-like insistence on live mouse hoppers (carefully supervised). I guess I need to improve my frozen rodent chef skills?

Baby #02 (Female)
This little gal has a trio of mickey dorsal marks on her back. Her side pattern is exclusively nice crescents. Like her sister above, she has displayed a stubborn preference for live hoppers so far, with only two frozen/thawed meals accepted.

Baby #03 (Male)
I did not think I was going to hold back a male this year. At eight males already, I have enough for my immediate needs, I kept telling myself -- and already have two *more* growing up.
This little guy changed my mind.
He has great color to start, and even in a strong litter overall really stands out. On top of that, his side patterns are fat crescents, save for two bullseyes on his left. Finally, he has extensive dorsal chaining: one link of six, two of five, and six shorter ones.
His only flaw is a recent pickiness with frozen/thawed. Guess I need to move him farther away from his two older sisters’ influence. ;-)
Welcome to the LGR lineup, little man.

Baby #04 (Male)
The silver eyes on this little man really pop in person. He has six linked dorsal spots on his back, including several mickeys. His side pattern is strong crescents, save for two bullseyes on each side, plus a lone orange fragment on his left.

Baby #05 (Male)
This little boy has seven linked dorsal spots on his back, including several mickeys. His side pattern shows his bullseye parentage, with seven on his left and four on his right, plus one lone pearl. He is also a fast grower, and one of the heaviest in his litter.

Baby #06 (Female)
This little girl has five linked dorsal spots on her back, including several mickeys. Her border lines are bit thicker than her littermates. Her side pattern shows a good mix, predominantly crescents but with scattered pearls and bullseyes (six between them). Her crescents, as if to balance out her back lines, are just a touch thinner than her littermates’…but that’s only when compared to some strong competition!

Baby #09 (Female)
This little lady has six linked dorsal spots on her back, including several mickeys. Her side pattern has six bullseyes and one merged spot mixed among her crescents, evenly split between her two sides. She was a feisty little thing as a newborn, nipping more than the rest of the litter together and doubled, but has since calmed down. She is one of my two female holdbacks, as I try to fill out LGR’s final het hypo slot (one of the two will eventually leave us).
