It's a girl!!! Finally, after a 3 year long wait, a female baby hyacinth, has hatched and arrived to her new home, with us, December 31st, 2002! We are most excited and are very grateful for our special gift, Giacinta (pronounced Jah-sin-tah). ( Giacinta is Italian for "Hyacinth".)
She hatched on October 1, 2002 and we learned the DNA results on October 21st. Gia was in the loving care of Goliath's breeder, now known as Hyacinth Haven, until her arrival on December 31, 2002. We will be posting regular photos of Gia so please check back often to watch her grow with us.
So, with this introduction, we now welcome Gia to our family! She weighed in at 329 grams when this photo was taken.
Below are some photos of Gia from Day 3 through current age.
