Hi everyone,
Its been a while since I have been on but wanted to give a update on my dumerils.....when I got the baby it still had a orangeish head and fit in the palm of my hand.....today it is well over 2 ft from nose to tail tip..maybe longer....growth seems to be slow????
I dont know.....but we hit a milestone today for us and he readily came to my tongs and ate a f/t fuzzy right off of the tongs!!!!
Up until today it seemed as if i tried to do this it would shy away and mostly retreat into its one of many burrows.
So I am very happy!
Next step is hand feeding.....but I am not rushing anything!
Bryan in Va.
