Next was a pair we just call the twins. They are 1.1 . The parents were “almond het amel motley x ultramel het almond motley ph anery 10 eggs laid 6-30-17 Hatched 9-3-17 One of them might be an ultramel lavender instead (the female I think) and the male may be an Almond (caramel lavender)” They came from Sarah Mohr as pet only due to kinks, and not yet proven to be feeding. We don’t really care what their morph is they are loved just the same. My wife wanted to name them with celestial names. The girl got named luna. The boy I named Bettlejuice after the red giant star that is one of the ones on Orins belt (also after the classic movie).
Bettlejuice was a fight for the first month or two. He started out about 4g and roughly 6” with noticeable kinks. He refused live and f/t pinks even with scenting from geckos and mice and placing in deli cups. He had to be force fed egg yoke a few times. One day I couldn’t get pinks from my normal supplier so had to get them from someone else. My normal place had pinks that were about 2 days old, this new place had ones less than a day old. Once I figured out he likes live super tiny pinks he has had 6 successful feedings in a row and nearly doubled in weight. Now that he is putting on some weight and eating his kinks are a little less noticeable. At just 3 months old now he has already tried coiling on his pinks the last two feedings.
