Yeah!Finally got some pix of your crew!Very cool!
John has some different markings from my boy.I'll bet he'll blue-up nicely.As you know,they show color alot better in the sun but I know you can't take them out in the frozen north to get pix at present.How big are they?They look to be similar age and size as mine.Thanks for sharing!

John and Tallulah are one month apart...but if you saw them side by side you would see she is just much larger...stockier. But that's the difference in body structure. I remember AJ Gutman telling me: Your rhino will be larger then your male---for a while anyway. And basically that's what's going on...they are both fall 2003 babies. A little over 2 feet in length.
I wish I could go outside with them---it will have to wait for the summer

Color yeah Bert was telling me the same about the lacerta who I have up at HW....

Yup,sunlight is the key to color.I got lucky with that one really blue pic of my boy.I took him out of his basking spot(110 degrees+) and took him outside on a nice 80+ degree January day(gotta love Florida weather

),right after a full shed and there you have it.
I can't wait to see what he's going to look like this summer.He's already twice the lizard I bought in weight and color.
I think the rhinos grow faster too.After seeing all the pics around I almost wish I had gotten a set of them instead of the ONE I got.Especially seeing how hard it might be to find a suitable mate for him.I know he's gotta be lonely in his cage with nobody to visit..even if I kept them in separate cages they could come out and play frequently.Oh well,guess he'll just have to settle for me..for a while anyway.
