What a difference a year makes... (DUW)

I spent some time looking through photos tonight and I was suddenly struck by how much Magnus has grown in the year I've had him. So struck, in fact, that I took the time to make a comparison collage. It makes my heart twinge just a little to see the size difference. Prepare yourselves...

From a little bitty Petco hatchling to a strapping 350g, with plenty more years to grow.

(And now just some random images from the past year...)

Sorry for the pic dump, I'm just feeling overly sentimental. I think August 9 is going to be his official "birthday" from now on. =]

Lol well happy birthday to him :D

Lol I'm sure he'd say thank you if he had lips and an appropriate tongue. :P

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Magnus,
Happy birthday to you!!!

:fest:

An a pinch to grow a foot. :D

I like that last picture! I was like, wheres the snake? And then i saw his lil head lol....his idea of "Wheres Waldo" lol

sent from my incubator

Nice. Its great seeing them grow

I can't wait til he's a great honking 700g lap snake.

Strange too see one so small at that age. My spider mojave male is right at one year old and 1,100 grams. I wonder what it's been fed and how often.

I love the last pic!

He eats a rat pup weekly right now. He's an absolute vacuum, has only ever refused one meal. I've brought my concern for his size to a bunch of different folks, and the only conclusion we've come to is that he's just a pokey grower. He's a Petco baby, so anyone can guess as to his genetics are.
