Wow,

Now that is a great series of shots.  :Very Happy: 

Is their little sharp nose always as flexible as it is in the first shot or does it stiffen up after they leave the egg for a couple fo hours?

I just never imagined it curled over like that.  :Surprised:

There little noses are floppy when they are first born its quite comical to watch,  I guess its an adaptation so they can exit the egg using their egg tooth. It always remains flexible but kind of sets by the first slough.

Yep they are pretty crazy looking, but totally adorable and have a great placid personality.

Thanks - it is great to watch them mature, you can see them getting greener with every slough




> really cool!!  they are on the list


Thanks - they were on my list too for a good few years before I was lucky enough to have some - availability is better now for them - so you shouldn't have a problem finding them.

Are they too hard to care for? Is there a good carsheet for them? I definately wouldnt mind having one! or two, or three!
