That's a gorgeous blue phase. Unfortunately they're very hard to come by lately.
get it off those wood chips, way too cool an animal to be kept like that..

Me too. I found a local pet shop that had one listed on their pricelist, turned out to be a PZB. :mad:

Apologies for the delay :/ my camera capped out on me! I had to go sifting through some files on my computer to find more pictures of my girls :)
The pics of Audrey and Fidget are still old so they're unfortunately still on those chips.

And my thirteen year old beauty Audrey. She used to be super aggressive, but she has mellowed out a lot over the past year or so :)

As soon as I find the professional photos that I had taken of Audrey in her threat position a few years ago, I'll post them too. They are fantastic!

At that point in my life, I thought that those chips were one of my only options. Everything else I could get hold of had coconut fiber in it, and I'm allergic to coconut.
Over the years I've discovered that I normally only have a reaction if I actually eat or inhale coconut, so now I can use eco-earth and other things like that :)
