True blues

Well my baby blues have shed and I did the scale counts and they are T.s.pickeringi. Very happy about that, really like that subspecies. Here's pics of the two of them. The female is more of a lime green then blue and the male is a nice sky blue (the camara really doesn't catch the blue very well.)

Female



..and male

Lovely looking pickeringii, Roy. How old are they now? I'm getting a pair of red-phase in mid September.

Looks great, Roy!

Did a bit of playing around with paint shop, hope you don't mind. Would you say this is closer to the truth?

Re: True blues

Yeh, very cool Stephan, that's about right....a little bluer but not much. I like how the blue on the sides is actually lighter then the blue on the belly. Actually the male and female both have the same colours belly scales. As far as their age James....I think if i remember correctly, the dealer said they were May babies, so they'd be about 3-4 months old.
