Thanks Murrindindi! I think he looks a wee bit thin as of late, at least thinner than I want. I'd like his tail base to be a bit thicker. This one has been with me for almost a year. He was a two-year-old in a crap enclosure eating crap canned dog food. Shedding problems galore, dehydrated, too "tame" because he was neglected into a state of cuddle-able...
I mean, literally, she would cuddle him(!).
He has grown since I rescued him, but recently it seems to be more length and less bulk. I wonder why? He was twenty inches when I brought him home, now he's about twenty-eight inches long. He eats dubias daily, crickets, shrimp, and fertilized quail eggs on occasion, and various small cute things every other day, usually a small mouse or rat pup. I wonder if he'll ever grow to his full potential, he eats like a pig. I have another who is going to be a year and a half and she's nearly his size eating the same diet.
