Beginners Basics....one more of Freddy..

now this is a pic BEFORE the last shed.
He is actually brighter and more orange now, as you can (sort of) see in the dinosaur pic.

He's a cutie...we did have to treat for coccidia (stress from shipping) but he still trippled his weight.
However hes a junk food lover...hehe.
I keep offering pellets (soaked, dry), ecto therm food, all kinds of greens, but he prefers the bugs...
No crickets, though, he doesn't even like them.
He likes diff. kinds of worms.
I have Butterworms coming, at least those are really good worms.

Looking good

Sorry you had to treat him, some handle it better than others I suppose. I had 20 of those babies ship out here, there and everywhere and the only other problem I had was when the new owner fed him 3/4" crickets and he had some Paralysis. I managed to talk her through (email) that and he is now doing great the last I heard!

Thanks for the pic So many babies get sold and you never hear another word about them, I am glad I have this one to watch grow up

How big is he now?

hm...i haven't measured his lenght, but he now weighs 80gr. When i got him he didn't weigh 30 gr. yet. So i'm happy...
Lenghtwise...hm...I'm guessing here, maybe 12-13 inches?
I'll measure him tomorrow, he has already tucked himself in for the night...
He is a sweetheart alright...
