Mildred has a new friend, George the 2nd. Well I hope George is a George and not a Georgina so damn hard to tell with Mellerii

A few pics of them, George is the one who has strategically placed his head right under the water dripper tube Laughing

I have noticed George has a longer more slender shaped head than Mildred. Also in general terms he is more slender. Mildred is a huge beastie and very chunky, this is more noticeable comparing her to her new viv mate. I do think Mildred is quite a mature lady.

Thank you all. He is LTC, as far as I know the only UK CB melleri were from my breeding.

Yes they are very hefty and have grips like iron. When I have Mildred on my arm she grips so hard, not being nasty to me, but it draws blood. I often hand feed Mildred as she is an old lady, and accidentally she chomped on my finger wow the power in her bite unbelievable and she was being gentle!
I have great respect for these magnificent chams.
