"Stanley",
formerly
known as "Shred",...
a Chai X Snickers holdback from 2003.
The first 3 pics were shot winter 2006.
Stanley as a young adult in late winter 2005,...showing
an unusual redder coloration that did not last. Many dragons will show
different color variations for their first couple years. Somtimes they
do not show their final adult coloration until they are 2 years-old.
The following pics of Stanley illustrate how dragons
can change over their first 2-3 years.
Stanley at 6 weeks-old in 2003
Stanley at 6 months-old and 18-inches in 2003
Stanley at 1 year-old in 2004,
