Cosmo is getting "big"

My boy Cosmo has hit a bit of a growth spurt the past few months. He's been with me for about 18 months now and is weighing in at a whopping 84 grams!! He came to me in March of 2017 weighing in at only 11 grams.
Here are a few pics I snapped over the last few weeks.
The last pic is a split screen shot of him. The bottom pic was taken in mid-June and the top was taken a few days ago. Obviously the lighter is there for scale...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5bdddb8fcb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c16a285912.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4954620c04.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94792ca890.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4e3e96eff0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7089d20ea0.jpg

He looks awesome Craig! You're clearly sober if you can hold on to the same lighter for 4 months lol

Thanks PJ!! Gotta love tongue flick pics!!

I was in Barnes and Noble a few weeks back and a book cover caught my eye. I thought it was a hognose at first glance, but it was a rattler. It's incredible how similar they look.

Thanks Richard! He's doing really well. Such a great turnaround from when he came to me "temporarily".

Right?? They are too cute. I'm so glad he found his way to me. He's such a cool little snake and nothing like any other species I know of.

So true. What is he eating for you?

He's eating a 6-7 gram hopper weekly. Every few weeks I give him 2 fuzzies (4-4.5 grams) I still have on hand. Either way there's barely a lump after he eats.

he's getting big! What a cute lil face!

Cosmo is looking great Craig! He's growing into a healthy strong boy! You're gonna be feeding him rabbits in no time! :)

Thanks Zig!!
Hopefully the Easter Bunny still comes to my house next spring!!! I hope Cosmo doesn't scare him off!!:rofl:

He's looking fantastic! :gj:

Glad to see him doing so well, he looks great!

Looking very good Craig..What size prey to you feed? I ask because my "Chuy" looks to be the same weight and size as your "Cosmo".

Can't believe how the little guy has grown and is perfectly on track now, you have done a great job with him. :gj:

Handsome man!!!

He is so gorgeous!

Thanks so much, Deb!!!!
I'm still super thankful for your help getting him started. He's such an awesome little guy, I'm glad he found his way here and it worked out like it did.

Thanks again :)

GOSH I love his cheeks!! Cosmo is looking as handsome as ever and you can tell he's absolutely thriving in your care!

Also darn, I thought I was getting over hognoses and Cosmo keeps pulling me back in haha

He looks great.

Obvious you are doing a great job with Cosmo.

What a cutie! No Hoggies for me, so I am living vicariously through you now Craig!

Hahahaha, thanks Dave!!!
I think you made the right call, though. I'll make sure to post some Cosmo pics here and there to fulfill your hognose cravings :)

Cosmo asked me to thank you all for the kind words [emoji6]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5af9bea537.jpg

Such a cute boy! I'm in love with their noses... Looks always as a bit grumpy snake looking for food :D

These guys are really growing on me but I will have to get my fix thru others. Loved the lighter shot early on in the thread, amazed it’s the same one. Bic’s have a way of walking off. Looks great, healthy and happy.

Good looking Hognose for sure. I love the ones that have the Rattlesnake sort of look to them. Their faces remind me of Pugs.
