Spanky hit 754 grams today!! @ 14 months

This is Spanky and he is a big one at 14 months old he weighed in today at 754 grams!

I am sure Spanky will go the distance and break the 800 gram mark before he beds down for the winter!

Spanky's size is complemented by his bright color and temperament!

His little ones seem to have his color and I am keeping my fingers crossed on them having his size!

You need to cut down on his food. 754 is too much for any size male. Fatty liver disease will greatly shorten his lifespan. It's very hard or impossible to get dragons to lose fat. You need to cut back dramatically on his live food with the intent of not letting him gain any more weight. Weight scales are great, use it to determine just how much live food to offer. My big males get at most 6 supers every other day.
