Thanks!

looks good but you need to get the shed off his tail ASAP.. it can cut off the blood and kill the tissue if left too long. I would try soaking his tail for about 10-20 minutes then gently try to roll it off.

Wow differantly named then in US. Just in case you see differant terms in the future often here's a sizing chart to compare.

He looks a little thin to me. I would defly get him on some rats ASAP. Other than that i think he looks real nice
