Tucker's Photo Thread

Tucker at week two. His original iPhone pic was just not working for me so I brought out his favorite log. Posed like a boss!

Dave

Aww he's such a cutie! Can't wait to see more pics as he grows!

It's been a full two weeks since Tucker's been home. He's had two good feeds and as of this morning weighed in at 102g. I have no idea about BP weights, but he looks healthy, is active, and curious about everything. Seems to like cruising the mantle above the fireplace. Lot's of stuff there to explore.

Tucker's putting on weight. He's up to 118g as of this afternoon. Today was his first real outing in the yard. Took him a bit to warm up to the idea.

I'm still on my trusty 4S. This was shot with my Canon 7D though, if that's why you were asking.

Haha, yup! I was going to say the iPhone have a pretty wicked depth of field if it was an iPhone shot! [emoji14] I want to get the iPhone 6, I've heard it puts out pretty good pictures. I have a Canon 60D, but I regret not just going with the 7D, seeing as I was spending the money anyways!

Out with Tucker this morning and he became really curious about the fence so I let him explore a bit. Up to 158g now. This is his first pic post shed, which is why we missed the week 4 pic. This thread has been really good for me to document his growth.

Thanks for looking.

Got inspired to redo Tucker's digs last week. Gotta love a sale. The small tree is the hot side. Every now and then, he exits out the top and bridges to the dish or the cool hide. Got a few pics of him this morning as he came out for a drink. Weighed in at 184g too. Gaining about 15g a week at this point.

I know the water is best in the middle for humidity, but he gets misted daily. It ranges from 48% to 67% depending on the weather. Thanks for looking.

Nice! I have the small tree u have and my Elphaba loves climbing it. Also you laid the substrate thick so u might be getting some burrowing action. Tucker will have fun in his new home. :)

Holy moly this is one of my favorite photo sets on here now! He's so handsome and such a good poser for the camera! His weight sounds perfect too. Good boy eating so well and growing big n strong!! I love his set up too it looks very cozy! I like the browns and greens. He's got a sweet pad lol. Thanks for sharing!! xx EDIT TO ASK: What has Tucker been eating, Mice or rats? Louie has been eating small Mice and I've just switched him to eat pups to help him grow.

He's on F/T adult mice. I'll be switching to rats as soon as I can. My local stores have been out the past few weeks. I'm supposed to get some crawlers in this week that should be the right size. Once both snakes switch over I'll order some online. Singles are rather spendy.

Dave

I was really worried about this after all I read about people having a hard time switching BPs over. Dude hit it like a champ. Seemed more excited about this than mice. Quite relived. :gj:

Little guy's feeling kind of blue today. :rofl: Couldn't help it, sorry. Up to 224g now and fully onto rats. I'm glad I saw him like this today. Humidity was a little low for a shed at 53%. Soaked the moss and now it's sitting at %68. Good to go and I'll have a shiny new snake in a few days.
