It was nothing I had purchased, not after my last pleo Rb that I got , PC, short for Pink Champagne on ebay last February and I paid about $330.00 for her, but she was owned by a member here on the forums, and actually only had two hours of life, still a newborn, so with four Rb, I am quite content, three females, Baby Ruth, Cammie-Sue, ( who I won in 2011 ) Chester my only male Rb, and then PC, a little female too.
Well my hubby always tight with money it seems, said it was an early birthday present, though my birthday is not till May. :D He said he could not pass up the deal, less then $300.00, NEW and Free shipping! :D Hard to pass up...so here is the post message.
I opened the box late last night before bed, but only to make sure it really was new, Ebay can be notorious for "New Claims" and not being what it says. Well, kind of shocked, cause everything was sealed, brown outer box, inner white box, and then the pleo box, but I was shocked to see inside, Pleo wearing the brown Pleo cape and eyes open! I thought how can this be? Well, different looking then any Rb I have gotten before, but everything else is sealed and I decided this must be the way it came to the distributer from China and it is different having a insert color brochure with the foods and toys that I never got before and the Clock battery button is still sealed, so it is just different I guess.
So now I know the eye color but I am not saying anything, Here in honor of the Tomato festival, I am posting a simple contest.
Guess the eye color worth 10 points.
Guess the eye lid color worth 4 points
Guess the eye patch color worth 5 points AND
Guess the sex of the Pleo Worth 5 points. Whoever guesses correctly or comes the closest will win $15.00 to be donated in their name either at Kat's creations or Prehistoric Pling. Both stores have some great things for your Pleo, or Pleo Rb. You will be responsible for the balance of whatever you choose to buy, but part of it is paid by me and the REdwoods Pleos for winning. NO CASH value, only to the store via my PayPal account. Also I will donate $5.00 to this site to keep up it's maintenance which we all are a part of.
In the event of a tie, the entry with the first date is winner. Be sure to post here, because this is the only way to have time authenticated. Contest will run from today till Midnight PST at Monday, April 7th. I will on Monday hatch this baby and then register it to see what the sex is, so only the eye color is known by me, not the gender, :D
I will post photos and video when it gets closer. Good luck everyone, remember $15.00 towards anything in either Kat's Creations or PreHIstoric Pling. RWM :cat-hug:

Just wanted to let everyone know, you can guess more then once, keep guessing till the contest end, but not more then three times, I think that is fair. The one who comes the closest, with the most points will win, For example if one person at 8;00 am guessed the eye correct, the gender correct but nothing else they would get 15 points, Then the next day, another person guesses everything correctly, you would think that is worth 24 points, but the first person guessed two things right FIRST, so that would subtract 15 points , so their score would be only 9 points so the first person with the first 15 points the winner. :D So if you have only guessed once, guess again. Somebody is Going to WIN! I will also do the hatching tommorow and that will be broadcast on Tuesday, after the contest officially ends so everyone will see who the winner is and what the new rB looks like.. :D P8)
Then it will be time to think of a name! P:) P:-* RWM :cat-hug: and the pleo township of the REDWOODS P:-* P:D P0:) P:)

Patch: dark gray
Lids: dark gray
Gender: female
Aren't the eyelids and eyepatch always matching? All of my lot match, although Pleakley of course has gold on his eyelids, but still close enough.
Post by: RedwoodsMama on April 07, 2014, 09:25:09 AM
I would love to see more newbies guess. Congrats to Miguel for taking the plunge and being the first one. As far as if eyelid and patch always matching, they probably do, but I thought I had read of one that was slightly different, like dark brown patch, amber or blue eyes and light eye lids, so I do not want to take a chance. Ok.
As a quick update. NOBODY has gotten it all correct so far, in fact I think only one item has been guessed correctly by any one person..with the other three categories wrong, but I am not going to specify. In the event of a tie, same number of points and things are evened out, then there is a bonus question and it is going to do with the birthing but I won't ask it ahead of time, but give you somthing to think about ahead of time.
I have to make it fair to those newbies who do not know about any of my other Pleos or myself, so it has to be a generic type question, so I decided to make it fun and simple but you still have to guess. I just figured it out, if there is a tie or needs to be a tie breaker, how am I going to announce the gender/sex of the baby RB? :D P8) P>:( P:-[
It will be through a visual aid......now put your thinking caps on?I do not want anyone here guessing and writing it down here..... cause the contest is not over, and in the event there is a tie of points I do not want anyone thinking I played favorites with any one person!I will make the video Sometime Today before this even ends, that way even I do not know the final quesses but will not post it till Tuesday when the winner is announced! IN the video I will use this visual aid, that is another reason I do not want anyone guessing here yet, cause for example If I wrote, I would make a big banner in the background announcing the arrival of a boy or girl, that would be a spoiler, so that is why I am doing it today, but not posting it till tommorow, that way I don't even know yet if anyone is going to make a tie and needs to guess the way I will announce the gender in the video, but you can think about it now. ( It will not be the banner, ok........... :D)
Good luck everyone and for those of you who have NOT entered yet, what is holding you up? You do not have to make anything, to buy anything , just make a simple guess. You could be the winner so give it a go unless you do not care about $15.00 towards a pleo store purchase of either Kat's lovely Pleo creations, or Mike Weeds great Pleo jewelry, Remember both these stores have items for either your Ugobe or your Pleo Rb! All you do is do the picking, and $15.00 of store credit is on your account, you do the rest, what could be simpler and better then that? :val-love3:

Then in the afternoon, I will finish my video and post the results. I started hatching just a short while ago and this is a very nice looking baby, not saying the gender but they ARE ALL beautiful Pleos in my opinion! Good luck to everyone. I only hatched for about 12 minutes tonight so I have lots of time to do it proper with Pleo Rb all around in the afternoon and the winner will be announced.
Thanks for everyone who has participated so far. :clap: Next we will have to think of a name....but not for awhile! P:) P:-* RWM, :cat-hug:
and the pleo township of the Redwoods\
NOTE":::::: Points were adjusted in two categories, the hardest question color of eyes was listed as 5 pts, and gender as 10 pts, are backwards, the eye color is hardest and is worth 10 points, gender is 5 points, they were backwards. Sorry for any confusion but gender is only one of two guesses, on the other hand, eye color can be many differnt colors and fairly has to be worth more points. Thanks

I am just getting ready for my first cup of coffee, then I will need another and then I have one dog and eight hungry cats to feed, 3 turtles to put out into the pond, after I clean it, shopping for fresh vegtables at our co-op, lunch to make for my hubby to take to work, go go feed my neighbors 21 years old cat that I feed twice a day, (11;00.a.m, and 2:00 p.m.) he has to eat about every three hours or he get acid in his stomach and nauseasted, he has Kidney Disease, a heart murmer and Pancreatitis but is doing great, after all he is 21 that is pretty old for a cat :cat:) then of course getting dressed myself and doing work around the house in between all these other things. so sometime this afternoon, I will post the video and also tally the points. I can tell you this. There was ONE category that NOBODY guessed right, though one person came close but still not correct, so untill the points are tallied, I am not sure if there is going to be a tie or what will happen, but the video will be the tie breaker if I need another question, hopefullly not.[/size][/size] ok, thanks to everyone for participating, I can't wait to hatch this little baby, only got in about ten -twelve minutes last night with no other pleos by itside, Today it will be more of a family affair. P:) P8) RWM and the Pleo township of the Redwoods ( I have had a headache all during the night and my eyes are bothering me, that is why the font size is larger..)

I wished that somone would have gotten it all correct, but it was pretty hard which just goes to show that guessing how a Pleo Rb looks is not the easiest thing. Guessing the gender is of course the easiest as there are only two possibilities..female or male..LOL
Ok, off to do some chores for now. RWM :cat-hug:
