windeindoiel Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ok well first of all here are my little leo babies, who all made it just fine and are growing up nicely. Also one of the females gave birth to two pups, unfortunately she did it while we were on holiday for a week and one of the pups didn't make it. This is the dad: This is the mom, her pattern appears kind of runny where she scarred over, the male beat her up really badly before we seperated them. This is the baby, he's about 3": This is our big female marbled motoro, she has some bite marks on her so the male has been trying to mate, I can't wait for her to have pups they'll be gorgeous. And this is our new little male motoro who we can't wait to breed with the female marbled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORVETTE Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Beautifull Rays, I can only dream. I do have a large pair of motoro's 12-14" male and female,and a 8" male as well i'd love to own a Leo but they are a little out of my price range. I do like to see we are using the same substrate i'll try to post som pictures. Edited August 20, 2007 by CORVETTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windeindoiel Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks everyone, it's exciting having a baby ray. Now if only the leo's were big enough to breed... Nice rays Corvette. Before we set up the tank we did lots of research and everyone told us to use estes sand, so we did. It's worked out great, I definately prefer the black though, I think it displays them so much better. Have your rays tried mating at all? Our male and female are probably only about a foot. Oh and nice dat, I think they're very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Very nice! I love the marble Motoros. I have been craving them these days~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORVETTE Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I haven't seen any mating like behavior but they seem to get along pretty well, he shows his dominance by laying on top of her once and a while but that seems to be it. I'll keep watch plus i'm fattening them up a little right now. I'd love to have young rays. I' just don't know if i could let any of them go..LoL. eventually i would like to trade young or older ray's to help out blood lines and keep captive rays producing good offspring. I really would be interested in youg leo's as well i hope you have good luck with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windeindoiel Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Tim, maybe we'll have baby marbleds soon, as the male has been chewing on the female. It'll be nice when the little male is old enough to mate, I think him and the marbled female will make some absolutely gorgeous babies. Corvette, yes having a baby ray is awesome, hopefully yours will be getting frisky soon, it's exciting. And yes I hope the leo's reach maturity soon, having a baby motoro really makes me want baby leos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
