Another Brosse, this one's a holdback of Steve's

[pakinjak]

Steve sent me a picture of this one, and I just had to call and congratulate him because it's so frikn' pretty. It's a sibling of my female, and is at least as colorful, if not more so than mine. It's amazing to me that these animals are so colorful without being selectively bred for it.

BTW- He mentioned that I could post the pic, and I asked him if it was for sale. Of course, no was the answer, but he does have other hatchlings from the same pair.

The gecko is just stunning. You've got me wishing I had this locale. Ha

Wow, It's amazing how different some of these Brosses are from my girl...this one and Pakinjak's are so much more blotchy and less stripey.

Wow that is an amazing looking leachie! Nice with all the white.

Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? I'm excited for my male to start coloring up to see if he's similar, since he's from an unrelated pairing. Maybe it's just something about this one breeding pair of Steve's?

Great looking brosse. I like the white all over. Hoe does it look in comparison to yours.

I'm assuming you are asking how it compares to my female? I've been meaning to take another round of pics of her and then post them next to each other on this thread, but I haven't done it yet. Since she's in a more naturalistic enclosure, I don't have the instant access to her that I used to have, but I'm going to try tonight.

I have only seen the one pic of Steve's animal, so I don't know exactly what it's sides look like. But if I had to verbally compare the two, I would say that-
while mine has tons of white, it's more typical patterning. There are several large bands and then a bunch of little flecking in between. Steve's probably has more white on it overall, and the blotching is less typical of leachies in general.

I'll do my best to get a pic tonight of her in a similar position for comparison.

That's the best I can do to get her in the same position. It's with a flash, but it doesn't change her pattern.

Like I said, mine looks more typically leachie in pattern with the bars and all, his has more white, and it's got a very cool, unusual pattern.

I like your girl better. lol.

It's been a while since we've seen your male. How's he been lately?

Thanks.

The male? He's still in the "little brown turd" phase. Nothing much to report, really. He eats like a pig, and for his age is quite heavier than my female, but what can you tell when they're so small, really?

In my vast leachie experience (which is just one animal), he should begin to color up around 6 months. That'll be in December, so it's likely to be the next time you see him.
