Hi all
I posted a while back when I was getting everything set up for our first royal, and then I had to wait for what seemed like an eternity for the spare parts of the viv to be delivered so didn't post for a while. Finally got the viv sorted, reptile radiator and thermostat and thermometer/hygrometer all working fine (viv pic below - ignore the wires, they're sorted now), and yesterday we came home with Penelope, our new little baby
We absolutely love her to bits, and she curls up tiny enough to fit in the palm of my hand We're going to leave her in her viv for a week or so now, to settle in << never imagined how hard that would be, then will try her with a mouse next weekend

Thanks everyone
She did a poo today so after I'd cleaned it up I weighed her and she's 130g. I'm not sure when she hatched but in the reptile shop they said she was a late CB11 or early CB12 so we've decided on 1st Jan as a birthday for her (I have a 5 year old and an 8 year old so birthdays are important!). Does that sound about right for her weight?
The three of us are completely besotted with her! |
