by the way, for those of you that keep or have kept salvators, have yous noticed a change in color with growth/after sheds? As you can tell from the pics he went from a very dark background to a more yellowish tint, normal for all or to each its own?

Also for those wondering, that enclosure is almost a rap= getting smaller by the minute. Its 5'x4'x3'. I've since taken out the hot/cool side divider to offer more floor space. I'm working on a 12 footer(length) not sure about height but it'll be atleast 6' but width will be more of a challenge with my living arrangements so the most i'll probably be able to provide is maybe 51"= a bit over 4 feet. I'll most likely block off part of it until Gator grows into it a bit more but that should hold em for atleast another year till i find a larger place.

Anyways thanks for reading and viewing. Time for bed

But please dont do this with a large monitor!
