vangarret- I am also considering adding a STP to my collection and have received advice about looking for those attributes with them (size and parent attitude).. Apparently those are more hereditary with STPs, I guess? With JCPs, I assumed that if the babies were not pure jungles, (had coastal in them, etc.) that they would grow larger than pure jungles, which is the main reason I was concerned about size / seeing the parents.

I knew that color developed later with JCPs, but these had very little "color" on them (brownish areas that would turn into brighter yellow later). They had a LOT of black, which I assumed they would keep as adults. Can you tell anything about their patterns and the amount of area that will turn into color (color vs. black) when they are small or does this change too? I should note that these were very small, probably only close to a foot long and tiny (pencil width or less).

When I got home (after posting) I looked online and found an excellent video on how to handle a nippy baby to discourage biting and help tame them down. I liked the author's advice on limitng biting for the sake of the baby and possible tooth injury. After seeing that, I'm pretty comfortable with handling to tame down (now that I've seen it done correctly).

Thank you again for your time and help!
