I've been quiet - New Addition

Postby Rishaad » Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:10 pm

I know I have been quiet of late and this is not reptile related but I would like to share some pictures of our new arrival:

Birth date: 04/04/2011
Time: 07:58am
Weight: 3330 grammes

Unfortunately he was born with water in his lungs and had a very difficult time breathing which resulted in his vitals stats sitting at 47% which gave us a major scare. He spent 3 days in neonatal ICU. We had to wait 3 days before we even got to carry him for the first time which was nerve wrecking. With the grace of the almighty he is now fine and keeping us up at night :D

Congratulations to you and the missus Rishaad. He is really cute. Glad he pulled through. Now comes the hard part - raising him ;-)

So your breeding programme has started working out for you. Well done.

Thanks people. Unfortunately there will be no future breeding projects with this species. LOL
