Name Changes and New Friends! 
A while back my wife saw one of the two adult Bibrons I got and thought were female go after the other one. I separated them thinking they were females just squabbling over food. I did a little more research (not alot out there on Bibrons) that said males have brighter white spots than females. I took a look @ my pair and noticed both had gotten bigger (0.5") since I got ’em and their spots were very bright/vivid/distinct. Males! So, the aggressor that I’d previously dubbed "Minerva" is now called Professor Snape. Loki kept his name since I thought it was fine either for a boy or girl, and now I’ve got a true Minerva. Sunday I went back to that little mom & pop pet shop expecting to see the 3 small Bibrons they had, advertised as Tokays, but there was only one left. I got her! No white spots at all. So now she is truly Minerva! She’s only a baby (4" long)... well, "juvie" would be more accurate. She was pretty freaked cuz she spent most of her first day w/ me @ work in one if those plastic Kritter Keepers. True to Bibrons form, however, when I came home from work she was up on the glass staring @ her food bowl... little hog!reako45

Are you going to breed Bibrons?
Or you gonna have to keep them all in seperate cages?Could you post some pics of your Bibrons and their setups?
Can’t wait if you decide to! -collin

As soon as I get a camera and figure out how to post pics I definitely will. I do plan to breed them also... BUT (and I’m hoping this isn’t the case) the other day I looked @ Shaka, the little one that I rescued and saw white spots pretty distinctly on her(?) back. When I first got her she didn’t have any! So it’s possible that I could have 3 males and only 1 female... not good if I hope to establish a little breeding colony. I’m going to check back @ that little pet store where I got Minerva and see if they’ve got any more females.reako45
