Right i think I've cracked it ... im weakening (well i was weak anyway) and i think i've convinced the OH who is not at all into reps to let me have a little CF royal i saw today.
He is mega lovely, looks a bit like a pastel with his colouring and a little fiesty. Was born a month ago today and has had two feeds although i wont get him until he's had 4.
I'm so excited .... if he was a girl i would be even more excited but sod it, another male it is bringing my reptile hobby up to two royals and a beardie
Hahaa no worries ma8. I sometimes do think i live with a women!
Anyway back to the important stuff ...... I want this royal, i was going to be tough (as well as not being allowed one in my own home!) and wait till next year and get a female etc ... but this little chap is stunning, i think anyway, and he was in his little hide just waiting for his next feed ... every few minutes he would strike out at us for watching him so i was naughty and just kept picking him up when he settle straight down
He didnt like going back in his little RUB ... i saw this as a sign when clearly he just wanted to escape, ha-haa
