Well a little more then a week ago my pair molted, ( not simultaneously )pretty close together. So I took some photos and have been taking them outside despite the communities distaste for the idea. My recklessness seems to of paid off for they haven't flown away, and the male has only flown under pressure of me blowing on his wings and holding him up. ( Don't worry Im gentle )

I have a lot of experience with maintaining animals outdoors, snakes and lizards alike can attest to that. The pair always stick close and I am having a blast with the two!

Though to be completely honest Chloe has turned rather aggressive since molting. And at one instance when I blinked she fired up and made a threat pose. Seems to go off at the smallest things so I've been a lot more gentle with her. Fred's just happy to reach up and climb on me, no issues from him :)

Enough of my rambles. Here's some pics of the two.

These ones are of Fred

( I was kind of sad to see his green disappear but whatever )

They are adorable! :)

I especially like the pics of Fred. He is very handsome.

Chloe reminds me of Chocolate Milk, she was a Chinese who would display easily, all through her subadult instar, and for the first week after her final molt. After that week, she was my most docile and calm Chinese. :rolleyes: I miss her.
