For this entry, we are profiling Franklin, the fifth of our five adult breeder males.
Franklin’s age is unknown, but estimated at about nine years. He originally came to us in July 2011 from a breeder who was exiting the Brazilian business, and was estimated at six to eight years of age at that point. Due to his larger size (about 1800 grams), I went with the higher end of that range. We picked his name due to his inventive persistence, which he usually applied to trying to find ways out of his viv.
Here is Franklin as of July 2011, saying “hi” to the camera just after we received him:
Here is Franklin as of September 2012, in honor of his (estimated) ninth birthday:

Franklin, who was a proven breeder before he joined Living Gems, struck out during the short season last year, but was re-introduced to his mate Agate in mid-November. Just a few weeks ago he was still following her around the viv.

| :O Holy WHOA! He has a dark face! Not as dark as Jasper's mind you, but it is darker. I now have a second favorite of yours, Cliff. :D Franklin is stunning! I adore the three joined circles on his neck right behind his head. :) |

| Thank you all for looking -- Franklin would find the attention electrifying (cough, cough, no reference to his shirt design). Jenn, good eye, he does have a slightly darker face! Bunny, me too -- after all, he need to pay his rent somehow! ;-) |
