So, we started with Castiel as a very young juvie, arguably a baby, Gabe was given to us as a present, unfortunately we didn't have the room for him with all the babies coming when we realized we had to separate him from the girls, then we fell in love with Cleopatra and just had to have her (which happened long before the getting rid of Gabriel.). Castiel had two clutches, and we kept one from the first clutch whom Elianna kept as Mayoko for a birthday present. Out of the second clutch we still have Fire whom we are raising for the friend who took Gabriel. He wants the baby at least to Juvie stage before he takes it in and it was a beauty. Then came the 13 precious gems from Cleopatra's clutch, all so different in personality and looks that it's amazing they came from the same mother. Anyhow, here's some pictures of the whole family (minus gabe as it would be an old photo since he is no longer with us).

Castiel is hating her new cheapo ferret harness.

Cleopatra is doing what she has done best since she went blind, just laid there:

Mayoko is still in her first shed in this pic!

Fire is getting a bath. Love this red tote for the babies to bathe in, though it does nothing for their true color.

This little guy is one of the normal's from Cleo's clutch. Munchin away on greens seconds before this photo was taken!

This little guy's favorite spot in the tank. I find him there hourly at least. (Cleo's clutch)

Here's my favorite generations photo:

And I couldn't get a good pic of the babies all together, but I've previously posted bath photos of them all together so that will have to make do. Hope you have enjoyed the tour of my BD family!

Thank you all for your kind responses!

Edit: This just goes to show how much they lighten and brighten as they age!

Glad you enjoyed the pics, and thank you very much!
I don't know for sure what made her go blind, but I think it dates back to when the vet told me I needed to get them as close to the lights as I possibly could because they weren't getting enough UVB. I bet she looked too long and hard into one of those bright lights real close up. You get so much bad information in the beginning, it's amazing. The sad thing is that this is probably the best reptile vet I ever went to, and I long to go back to him, but he's across the country from me now. Could have just been a misunderstanding, right? But I'm not sure, even then. She appeared to go into brumation one day and I noticed her eyes were looking funny shortly before that and I was worried, but everyone at the pet store told me not to because it was just brumation. Sadly, it is what it is, and she seems to be adjusting now that I know what it is and can help her in more of the right ways. Getting some weight that she had lost back, after 2 more different vet visits.

Were you using the MVBs at the time?
I was not. I can't remember what kind of UVB I was using then, I think it was part of a dual basking/uvb 10.0 pack that was recommended by the pet store to go with the dual fixture. Getting them closer to the UVB also got them closer to the basking light as well, they were on a raised platform I had built that got them right up to the top.
