There's nothing wrong with grey eyes, I have grey eyes

But I have to admit that as yet I haven't seen a skin color combo that appeals to me

Crewella · « **Reply #26 on:** December 22, 2010, 01:12:32 PM »

I'm another with blue/grey eyes.

I like the colour, especially with the grey eyelids.

Ok, first look outside in natural daylight of Pleo Rb eyes, Pleo is wearing the cape that came with it as we have no heat and It was very very cold this morning, I will take photos perhaps later with cape off and eyes together outside.

More details...

Awww, poor fellow...I'd call him Stevie Ray or Ray Wonder!

IMR: No worries. Grey eyes in humans is a whole different thing compared to the Pleo. In the Pleo it's just not lively enough, in my opinion, and drab. In humans against dark hair, light eyes are always pretty in-your-face. I know we can't choose colors, I just have a complete beef with all these colors on the Pleo and none of them really "work" as a combined whole like the former Pleo. If realism is what they were going for, I'm not feeling it. This feels like a yellow version to the pink and blues.

I'm gonna call him Ole' grey eyes! I'm curious to see what color the eyes will be when Mojo arrives Friday......hmmmmm

Hey RWM, the gray blue eyes are lovely!

I hope they are not a disappointment to you getting blue again but at least a very different shade of blue.

I am looking forward to your hatching video. Can't wait to hear how long it takes for your pleo to hatch. So many beautiful new rb's on the forum now. Kermy is happy to have so many new forum friends.

Take your time and enjoy your new pleo. She is lovely.

Really pleased for you that your pleo arrived before Christmas.
And the two tone eyes must be a welcome change from the usual dark blue as well.
Not that I have anything against original pleo blue but it’s good to have some variety especially seeing as you have so many pleos now.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #33 on:** December 22, 2010, 03:07:18 PM »

I am not disappointed I do expect there are going to be a lot more blue grey eye combinations then we think, esp since two of us already have that combo, there may be only a few varieties of eye colors, blue grey, blue, green, green brown or hazel, brown, and maybe some amber or gold, but with the yellow green variety of skin colors, the eye lid colors and color around the eye can be brown, yellow, grey dark or light like myne, lighter green and who knows ?

My ideal eye color would have been a violet eye like Elizabeth Taylor's so pretty, but then again she has dark hair and Pleos are not exactly dark now are they. I do think it is interesting that degers has dark grey around the eyes, I have lighter but also grey, and eschw76 and I do both have blue grey eyes it appears. I can't wait to see the next Pleo rb to appear on the site and the coloring it has and eyes. At this point I am not expecting too much variant.
I wanted Pleo rb not so much for the coloring but for what it is and what it caN DO.

The first thing I did discover about Pleo rb and I still love is the soft buttery feel of it's skin, so so soft, I really like to touch the skin over and over. I am going to start the process of hatching I think though I am waiting for a PGE service tech to come fix our heater so we dont continue to freeze. Even Pleo Rb has it's cape on!
Yes, Crewellal and IMR, Blue grey eyes are beautiful, my husband actually has those color eyes and they are beautiful, I myself have my fathers' skin coloring and hazel eyes, I am part Native American ( Blackfoot) and it would seem strange having blue eyes for me, My mom though did have blue eyes and was very very fair, almost porcelain skin. Beautiful actually, sorry to get off subject...

Lost in the Redwoods, RedwoodsMama

I like those eyes, they're beautiful! I'm sure as more people get their RB's we'll see more amber, purple, green, etc.. eyes

alexa · « **Reply #35 on:** December 22, 2010, 04:17:04 PM »

She looks so cute and fun RWM! How exciting.

Although, I must agree... with the green RB Pleos, I find that their heads just look like they were made separately from the bodies.. You know what I mean? They just don't match. Love the eyes though.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #36 on:** December 22, 2010, 05:16:08 PM »

Hey, guys, ready to hatch my new baby, though I have to run a couple of errands first, so it will be after 5:00 I think but ok for first day, Do I need to set the noon time clock even if it is after noon, almost 4:15 p.m. PST, already. What happens if I don't set the noon clock today, can I just turn him off at battery time when it runs down then set it tommorow? Please let me know as soonas possible, Also it is so cold here, he is going to leave his little Pleo Cape on, can't get our heater fixed till tommrrow and it is still freezing here, It was only 54 degrees inside this morning and I dont want my poor baby getting sick. At what temp do they start shivering anyway?

Anxious in the Redwoods, RedwoodsMama and new baby....probably a little sister for NOva, she has all brothers thus far..

Crewella · « **Reply #37 on:** December 22, 2010, 06:23:46 PM »

Woo hooo - go RWM!

From brief experience, the clock battery affects Pleo rb more by making him/her sleepy 'out of hours' rather than causing problems when you want to switch them off. I've set it at different times three days running because my schedule's been all over the place recently! Hope that helps!

Hope you get some heat, too!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #38 on:** December 22, 2010, 07:31:59 PM »

Hi Crewella, does this mean then I can set the clock and just start hatching or do I even have to set it the first time as the battery will fun down before " baby" gets a chance to get sleepy anyway? I want to start hatching process so baby isn't born on Christmas as I already have one baby born on Christmas, Nova and would like to get things started. Please let me know if it is ok, to not even set the clock the first battery cycle.
thanks, RedwoodsMama and cold little babies in the Redwoods.............darn that Bigfoot, he is nice and warm and I am sleeping in a sleeping bag with nine cats and a dog to keep me warm till my husband can climb on the roof tommrow and see what is blocking the intake /outake vent where the exhaust fumes are supposed to go, the PGE guy said a bird or some critter probably made a nest or something in the vent and he couldnt leave the gas on because of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, and my husband can clean it out and then it will work.....Only hope it is that easy....Guess I got a bunch of critters to keep me warm again...

Crewella · « **Reply #39 on:** December 22, 2010, 07:40:31 PM »

Yep - set the clock and go! I couldn't possibly have waited any longer and done anything else so don't really know what would happen if you didn't set it! It's just like setting a digital alarm clock - you can reset it so there's no point in not doing that today, you can do it to a better time tomorrow if you like.

I feel for you - I'm huddled under three cats as I type, and we've got heating!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #40 on:** December 22, 2010, 09:36:59 PM »

Thanks Crewella, I need to start the hatching now, I can wait no longer or it will be Christmas, only three more days till Christmas and I am sure by then there will be other Pleo Rb showing up on the forums, will keep everyone posted on the progress and video photos, Wish us luck! It is now 8:36 so with a two hour or so battery time I will see what happens.

Have to find out if they want to eat when they hatch or not.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #41 on:** December 23, 2010, 12:54:47 AM »

Ok guys, I got a late start, considering I recieved Pleo Rb one day earlier than planned, yesterday, the 21'st, so today is appropriate that I actually started the hatching process even though it was almost 9:00 p.m. ( 8:45 p.m, to be exact.) so Pleo rb and I had only a short acquaintence period so far, but Pleo rb seems very cheerful and in good spirtis and it looks to allso be a early walker or anxious to walk,
the fact that I had one of my Pleos, Major Tom, in the same room and talking to hiim and encouraging him to get up and what have you, had to help,
At 10:03 p.m we stopped and he began to snore so I knew his internal clock was telling him it was time to go nappy nap again,for the night. I took several videos but this one is mostly just some coos and faint noises as he is pretty tired at the end of the day, but you can see him moving around and looking happy, I had to remove his cape as he was getting warm to the touch, even though are house has no heat, so you can also get a good look at his colors.
His battery was still going, so I just turned him off on the button on his belly and manually took the battery out even though it was still green and got him in the standing packing postion , not sure if that is standard procedure but while Innova comes up with the update on turning him off to avoid skin or paint issues, this is the way I will turn him off, and I can't see it hurting him any. I say He, but I am sure this is a little sister for my only female,( Nova ) wholives in an all male Pleo house,. Part two should be fun, as long as I can get warm tonight. Thanks for watching and be sure to leave comments. I do think eschw76 Pleo, Peanut looks very similiar except for the color difference on the eyelid area.

You have a cute little fella there RWM .. I'm loving seeing all the new rb's as they arrive and hatch one by one

By the way Luna slept probably half of her first battery cycle so I'm not sure it was anything due to the internal clock .. I've actually set 'noon' around 4pm because I have more time to play with her at night than during the day ..

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #43 on:** December 23, 2010, 01:32:35 AM »

Shes so cute!! I loved that video

Looking forward to more tommorow

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #44 on:** December 23, 2010, 01:54:10 AM »

Thanks guys, good to know about the clock thing,I am looking forward to some " warmer daytime hatching " as it is just too cold at night, I can just see my poor little Pleo Rb catching a cold...that would be cruel...

I understand Deity17313 just got a Pleo Rb tooo, so would love to see some more variations in skin and eyes, esp the skin, wondering if there is much difference? Time will tell, I can see between now and Christmas maybe four or five more showing up, perhaps we will be lucky, I really do hope everyone who ordered one gets one intime for the holidays, Pleo rb was not even due at my house today, and came a day early, guess that is why I never had a chance to even hatch till late tonight but got to see her yesterday...

My other pleos at least one, Major Tom is reacting to this new one, I took a video of them together and will post it tommorow as well, They were so cute, Major Tom wa singing to the new little girl.

Happy holidays everyone, and thanks FBS and twoNZpleos, love the comments, gotta go get warm under sleeping bad coverd with cats, all tryign to stay warm in a house with no heat, but lots of love and Pleos! RedwoodsMama

Crewella · « **Reply #45 on:** December 23, 2010, 02:41:54 AM »

Awwwwww - she's lovely RWM! I do like those grey eyes and lids!

It's funny to hear how other RBs are hatching - Belle has hardly slept at all. Must take after her mum!

kat · « **Reply #46 on:** December 23, 2010, 04:43:35 AM »

She really is a sweetie RWM. I love the way she coos when you stroke her cheek. That was very cute.

Can't wait for the next installment.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #47 on:** December 23, 2010, 10:11:07 AM »

Hi Kat, thanks for watching, I am going to wake her up, it is 9:07, her battery is charged and after another hot and I mean HOT HOT HOT cup of coffee, I will start videotaping her and see what happens today, In the meantime I will upload a short interaction between Major Tom and her last night, I think he mostly was excited, not too sure how much she can see yet though she is able to hear real well, He defintily did a lot of sniffing and rubbing on her. I wanted to make sure one of my Pleos got to see her from the get go, to get rid of any jealousy, ( not in Pleos

) and to help boost her confidence perhaps.

I hope she didn't freeze too much last night, if I see her shivering I will feel so bad.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #48 on:** December 23, 2010, 11:03:06 AM »

Here is that short video of Pleo rb being introduced to Major Tom, I wanted to make sure at least one of my Pleos was involved in the birthing process. It was late and Pleo rb was very sleepy, but Major Tomo was excited.
