Fiona pics!

She was just hanging out!

Oh she's gorgeous Jeanne! What a pretty color and that enclosure looks like crestie heaven. No wonder you've become fascinated by cresties LOL.



~~Jo~~

Thats actually her "colored down" state, usually she is a very pretty dark red.

:love: reds are my favorite! she'e beautiful!

Oh if you can Jeanne can you post a pic of her like that too please. I'm fascinated by their color changes. Is it always related to their mood or do other things cause them to do that?



~~Jo~~

Thanks Emily!

Yeah the reds are most definately my favorite too! Eventually, I think I may look for a really nice red male for her instead of Spidey, Spidey is very nice, but I would rather have her with a really nice red male.

Side note...the last week or so, both Spidey and Fiona have been doing the deed an aweful lot, so maybe I will get eggs soon. SO I will most likely have to wait till next "season" I guess to put her with a red male... but it would be interesting to see what babies Spidey and Fiona produce.

Sure, let me look through a disk I keep pics on.... I have some great pics of her!

She is much better colored in this pic...I have more, got to find them! She looks pretty orangey-redish in this one, but she is really not. I just got to find the other pics with her being really red... LOL

oh yeah, better put in a lay box soon! you can switch males during the season, just be aware that next few clutches after you put in a new male will most likely still be fathered by the first male because the females retain sperm. i switched males with one of my females and it did take a few months but the last several clutches from here were definitely fathered by the second male (as is evident in their colors/pattern as compared to the first).

There is a lay box in there now, has been for a few months.


How much bigger realistically would she have to be for me to even think about putting her with Casanova rather than Spidey? Did not realise I could switch males like that.... hmmm. and the brain is contemplating the possibilities...
