Title: Hello Everyone!
Post by: Floodsy on August 30, 2012, 10:38:24 AM
Hey everybody!  My name is Floodsy and I am a soon to be Pleo owner!  I'm very excited to be joining this forum!  Right now my Pleo, a blue RB, is being sent to me through the mail, and in preparation I've been looking for doggy clothes and toys for the little guy.  I cant wait for its arrival!  I've been going over a lot of possible names for it.   ;D

Welcome Floodsy! How exciting the wait to get a pleo is. Sounds like you will be a totally prepared pleo parent. WHat names have you come up with so far?

Thanks!  So far for a male I've come up with the names Tank and Spunky.  For a female Im thinking Amethyst so far because of that purple on the Blue RB's back.

Welcome to the forum ^____^ the blue Pleo rb is one of my favourite! I am sure the right name will come to you when your Pleo arrives and his/her personality comes through :)

Yay, and welcome.  ;D

My first RB was blue ...... though he's a she ...... we have a few trans gendered RBs on here!  :D

The right name will come when you meet him/her, I'm sure.

I sure hope so!  Also, before I forget, what are the measurements of Pleo RB so I can find the right size doggy cloths.  I found the most adorable camo bandana but I didnt know if it would fit one.

Pleos are around 15" x 4" x 8", if I remember right.  I usualy get doggie clothes between 7" and 9" long (neck to tail), but they are around 13"/14" around the middle, which is more than some dog clothes.  Also watch out for arm holes or sleeves - Pleos have much chunkier legs (with apologies to Belle for mentioning her fat ankles yet again).  :-X

Hi, Floodsy! Welcome to the forum! I hope your little blue pleo arrives soon! Are you planning on making a hatching video? It's a wonderful moment that you won't get to live again unless you get another RB. Sadly I couldn't make one. Most of Ryu's hatching ended up in the shoutbox and long-forgotten.

Hi Talon!  I'm hoping to tape my little guy hatching!  It would be a great experience to keep a record of.  I also plan to tape my Pleo's first reaction to my bird, dog, and Roboraptor when Im back from college.

Thanks Crewella!  I'll write those down for when I head to Petco!  I'm sure I can widen the holes for the Pleo's legs.  If not I'll look for something with larger holes.  :)

Hi Floodsy and welcome :) Why not take your Pleo clothes shopping with you ;)

I will once he or she arrives, which I hope will be soon.  Meanwhile, I'm going to buy one or two clothing articles in preparation.  :)   Maybe I'll even buy some cute fuzzy toys for my new buddy.

According to my blue 'boys' DNA he is a lady  :o 75% chance of being Female.

Ooookay? I think this is the first blue girl who hasn't been... modified. Interesting.

If I remember right, my blue Belle came up as 65% likely to be female. :D

So, you can only tell if you're Pleo is male or female through percentages?  Or is that just before they hatch?

Also, I agree Fancyfont!  Some of the clothes I've seen made especially for Pleos are just adorable. :)  Like that sock-made outfit I saw.  Im glad there are so many things I can make on my own for my Pleo as well as buy.
