Don't you just love it when they shed?

The red on his back is a bit more dark. When I first got him I was a little disappointed in how dilluted he looked in coloring but now everything is coming out especially the grey on his head. When I went to feed him and took the cave off of him I had to stand there for a moment and blink.

He is now in High Definition. Blood in HDTV!

Oh yea. I mean, how can you tell which ones are going to shine (besides the parents looks) and be all crazy deep red? I guess when you raise enough, you just know. ;P

That's what I love about this species, there is always a surprise in store waiting for you.
