Leonard Update - 5 months :)

[AmandaJ]

He's growing! And I love the peachy colors he's developing along his sides -- such a gorgeous boy



At 5 months he has more than doubled in size since I brought him home with me. He was 83 grams empty at about a month of age, and he weighed in at 180 grams empty October 5th; I wouldn't be shocked if he were over 200 grams even now. I'm actually somewhat prideful because yay, he's growing, I'm doing something right!

My husband and I are discussing design options for his full-size enclosure, which we are considering building ourselves. Uhm, and by "ourselves", I'm really referring to my husband, who (bless him, he's awesome) thrives on creating things.

I swear, I'm the only woman in my subdivision with an aluminum smelter in her back yard. What can I say? He was bored one Saturday

Anyway, that's the scoop! He's thriving, kinked tail, micro-opthalmic eye and all.

Awesome! He's very pretty! Glad he's growing for you. It really does give us something to feel proud of when our babies are eating, and thriving, and happy!

Thanks everyone He's just lovely in person -- and he's a really chilled out little snake, a trait which I'm hoping continues.
