    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i'm concernd about him, well his colour and the fact he isn't that strong, more or less weak, any suggestions or comments, they get proper heating lighting, feeding and so on.

thanks

Howdy Mike,

I puzzled over what to say when I read your post. The first photo didn't seem to me to be female Nosy Be' colors but I really haven't paid that much attention to the early colorations of that locale as much as I should, especially since I have a male that I raised from 3 months to 2+ years old :eek:. He never showed colors like either of yours but that shouldn't mean much coming from me... You could have convinced me that the 2nd photo was the female... How about a photo of the tail base of each to see which one is packing hemipenes? Your concern about health is valid. Sometimes it's the small signs that let us humans spot big problems early.

Photos of your setup and data to describe your "proper heating lighting, feeding and so on" will help get the conversation started with the rest of the group. Usually something will trigger some better ideas than what I've presented. Don't forget brand names of everything regarding lighting and supplements along with dosages, times etc...
 
Both of those are Female, 100% positive.
A fair mestake for a breeder if they were sold when young.

I can visibly see that the one in the second photo is likely weakend by her stance and posturing. Keep the warm misting up, while you provide details and photos of the enclosure.
