just a couple new pics of Buddy from yesterday. he was hanging on the screen and i thought it would be a perfect opportunity to take a couple pics to show how fat he is

he's still a bit skittish. he'll let me pet him but if i try and take him out he'll jump away. so for now im just petting him and hand feeding him 1 piece of grape everyday and hopefully he'll calm down enough to let me take him out more

jeeze he is a fatty! in a good way! lol! HArd to tell from the pic, but is he a cuban or a rhino? Also how old? I have a skittish 2 1/2 cuban I aquired about 6 months back, so I feel your pain! I spend about twenty minutes a day holding him and petting him....I think its working somewhat...he is not constantly trying to get away or bite me lol!

haha thanks. i just got him from Ben Siegel about 3 weeks ago. i feed a mixture of turnip, collard, and mustard greens. just two at a time so i can vary it up every week. i also feed a staple of acorn squash and mango. and i mix in a little bit of red bell pepper and snow peas in every salad along with some Mazuri tortoise diet which he doesnt seem to fond of, but hopefully will start eating. every couple weeks i feed a little bit of banana and i usually give him a grape cut up in two a few times a week as well. as you can see, its working haha

Cool! I was looking at the ones from him...they look prettu nice

wow he is big for 6 months! Is that one of siegels "twice the size of hatchling" ones?

this guy is a bit bigger than those. when i called him he said he had one that was from a different clutch that was a bit older and bigger so i got him

i have a thread posted a bit down called "he's here" which has all the other pics. im just too lazy to post them again

I forgot about those pics! lol! He is a cool looking dude

thanks. frank's not so bad himself! i love the spots on his tail

I want a baby! (again! but one is enough!) He has the cutest spots right now!!!!

Here was Petranella at 9 months (awww memories)

Haha that's an awesome pic! Great timing! She looks huge for being 9 months. How big was she?

She wasn't that big, probably normal size. That is a kneecap she is sitting on...tiny little head.

She is 4 now, and I still don't think shes big...

You should rename him Gene.

Why Gene? I already named him Buddy

You might also try blueberries. While she likes grapes, Kismet will literally run across the room to come get a blueberry.
