Proud parents of a growing baby!

Milton is now 20" long! He was just under 16" when we got him on June 12th! He's eating wonderfully, though sometimes he doesn't get the concept of swallowing his food HEAD-first! LOL! One time it took him a half hour to get a hopper down because he was trying to eat it hip-first!

He also just finished (almost!) his first full shed with us... I soaked him yesterday as described on the "Bad shed? No problem." sticky, and it all came off except for the part you see here. I'm going to soak him again tomorrow and see if it won't come off. He doesn't really seem to care about it, but it looks crummy.

Do you guys think he's ready for adult mice? He's eating 2 larger hoppers a week, and sort of still seems hungry afterword. I know they say to go by his girth, but it's kind of on the line right now.

After a soak, have him crawl around a damp towel. That should remove the shedding skin nicely.
