Apollo, The Sun God

Just got my new beardie, Apollo. He's a super citrus leatherback which came in yesterday from Fire and Ice Dragons. This was my first time ordering from them and have been super impressed by Terri. Super fast response to my questions I've been emailing and Apollo came home very alert, very active, and little signs of stress.

Thanks Heather!

I figured I'd post a couple more pics of this lil beauty..

You can see the stress marks in this pic, found out that the background stresses them out at this age so I have since removed it.



I love when they do this, dunno why but I really like the way they look



He had his first shed (since I've had him) yesterday and his colors already look much brighter.

Thanks!

He looks really white right now, he should be having a big shed soon. Only his tail shed a few days ago, I'm eager to see what the colors will look like after the shed

Flo is getting ready to shed too! getting really big too! what are you feeding Apollo?

 

[rafa2k]

He's eating between 35-45 dubias a day. He doesn't eat his greens at all, he uses the dish with greens as his toilet. At least it makes it easy to clean up lol

pretty close to the same then. how big of dubias are you feeding?

 

[rafa2k]

I bought them as smalls, but they seem a little big to be considered small. They're just a little bit bigger than the gap between his eyes. Some are much bigger so I set them aside for now.

I tried to capture him eating on vid but he's shy. He will NOT eat until I walk away

 

[tatteberry]

Flo is shy too. I put my gopro in the cage and watch him over wifi 8) . The dubias I am feeding are around that size too.

The between the eye rule does not matter when feeding dubias.

i think it does as well. i have some dubias that are the size of his body.

Here he is after he completed his first shed, since I've had him anyway. He's a little bit lighter but not much....still gorgeous though
