Default Herman Jr & MeShell

Are finally in their new home

First picture of them:




Herman Jr on the right and MeShell is on the left. Herman Jr is a tad bit bigger and is already bossing MeShell around.

Will take lots more when they are settled in.

They are soooooo cute though, me and the girlfriend have just been sitting and watching them for ages lol.

There was a stand at the Reptile show in Barking over a week ago. Put a deposit down on them then, as was going on holiday. Got back from holiday y'day, and went to pick them up today.


They seem to be loving the enclosure! However have made it real messy already!

Can see how easy it is to want more, they have such great characters and do some really silly things!! lol

Picked up a digital timer this afternoon, so now the lights and heat come on at set times without me worrying.

One was hatched August 2007 and the other hatched September 2007, so just coming up to a year old.

However i think they are slightly big for 1 year. Could be wrong though.

Yep holiday was AWESOME thanks, got to swim with sharks, sting rays and Sea Turtles which was awesome.

Yer i would like a couple more, but not atm, 2 is enough for the time being.

Yer they are a tad big, tbh i think the previous owner overfed them abit, but they are in my care now, so will be under strict 'supervision' and given the best lifestyle i can give them.
