Cherri-New Pics 5/24

[DragonMomSandy]

Thanks Sara! She was just too funny in that tree! She's been wrecking that tree since the first day I put her in the new viv, trying to climb it! Silly girl! It was knocked over this morning with her right in the middle of it!

Lol that's funny. Lilly's too fat to climb her tree right now. Poor girl.

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Cherri is a little big to be climbing this tree too. She still tries though! She managed to get her upper body inside the stems last night and her butt parked on the base. It was too funny. This morning she was right in the middle of it all, with the tree tipped on it's side! Guess she tried to climb out and it fell over.

And did you take a picture of this?

 

[DragonMomSandy]

No, I wasn't quick enough! LOL I had walked in and found her that way and went to grab the camera off my desk. By the time I got it out of the case she had wiggled out and was sitting on the side of her log!

Well we will be waiting on more pictures. :wink:

 

[ChellyBeans]

Where the heck have I been? Congrats on the new baby! She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Thanks Chelly! Yes, Lance, there will be more pics! LOL I have the camera out of the case, sitting on the desk and ready! I'll get some pics of her exploring her viv. The first few days she has hung pretty close to that log and plant and looking around. Today she was in the front corner glass dancing a little. She's getting used to it. I am glad to finally have her out of that small breeder tank and into a viv large enough to give her plenty of room!

awwww Sandy!! I love your little Cherri!! she is soooooo pretty!! I love the tree pics...too cute!!!

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Thought I'd show some more pics before I get harrassing posts ***cough,cough, Lance, cough** or before my thread gets hi-jacked ****cough, cough, Sara, cough*** LOL!

Anyway, here's my girl:

This was shortly after the lights came on and she was peeking over the side of her log.

Doing a little pancake, soaking up some heat.

I measured Cherri on Sunday and she has grown! She is 16 and 1/2 inches.

Awwww Sandy what a cutie and you really should have that cough looked at. :laughing6: She sure does have some long nails. :wink:

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Yeah, her nails are pretty long. I've been debating on trimming them, but they are so dark it's hard to see the quick. I'm hoping that once we install the tile the rough texture will buff them down a little.

 

[ChellyBeans]

You are always safe with just taking the tips. If you brought her to the breeder, they can grind them down where they will maintain a nice and smooth look.

Wow Sandy she has some intense eyes doesn't she? :shock:

When you use wood for basking site the nails can not file down as well naturally(because wood is soft). You can trim them or put a rock in her enclosure. By climbing on the rock it usually does the trick for most of mine. Tile helps too! :wink:

 

[DragonMomSandy]

I am hoping the tile will help. I am also picking up some pieces of slate rock this weekend. If this doesn't help, I'm going to take a human nail file and buff them down a little (I do this with my 2 adult females and it works well enough to knock that sharp tip off).

Barb, she really does have intense eyes! She's quite the little master of the stink eye! LOL

Cherri has also gotten very attached to hubby! And him to her as well. What a big mush! LOL He puts his hand in the viv and she is climbing his arm and parking herself on his shoulder! It's too cute, and he is so totally sucked in by her! What a sucker! :lol:
