My entry for Nimrod's contest. I reversed the linearts around to better fit their personalities, but it's still female on the left, male on the right. The female is more timid and shy, while the male is more bold and daring. The female is based off a rat, and has a (genetic disorder?) that causes certain parts of her skin (tips of toes, near pawpads, tip of tail, whiskers, inside of ears) to have a blueish tint and that gives her her tricolored tongue. The male is based off of a reticulated python. I'm happy overall, wish the female had been a bit lighter and the small spots had shown up more, but very satisfied with the male. I plan on giving the female a spiky companion later on. Timer's off by about 25 minutes.
