Banana bp Bo progression thread
Okay so I'm finally giving him his own thread instead of just making seperate posts about him whenever he does something exciting lol. So here he is! My little banana guy is currently almost 7 months old, I weighed him tonight & he's sitting at 206g, but he does still have some food in him as of right now, so that may be subject to change lol.
Anyway, while he was out I figured I'd take a couple more pictures of him to share with the world because he's just so darn cute! The scales right above his eyes are getting darker with every shed & I love how it makes him look like he's got little eyebrows, & he's still so bright! His colors are definitely fading, but not as much I'd expected. And one more thing, I've noticed he has little silver streaks at the top of his eyes? They're small & almost impossible to get on camera (it shows up a little in the second photo but it's really faint), but really interesting!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...49d780687d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dff5fdcf98.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...63c554625e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8845a6609f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...849572c61b.jpg

My banana looks very similar, except no black specs yet...I call them banana seeds. Lol.

Yeah he's super ripe lol! The color & pattern variation in bananas is so interesting (and most other morphs, but the banana freckles make my knees weak haha)
Re: Banana bp Bo progression thread
I prefer mine doesn't get them but if he does he does... I don't have much control over that. Lol

Haha well I'm glad you like the freckles because he will have tons of them soon! Every time they shed more seem to show up.

I was looking at pictures of mine and think I found one on the yellow part! I'll have to confirm later haha I don't know if I'll be able to see while feeding in a few minutes.

It's my favorite, as well. Which is why I have a CG girl. She is so beautiful, and she picked up a few new freckles with her last shed. (She also eats like a machine...348g and took down her first weaned rat on Saturday).

Oh yes I know! I've had him since he was a few weeks old (got him really young on accident lol), he didn't have a single freckle when I got him! He's shed three times since I got him & he's only getting more beautiful! Super excited to watch his colors change even more as he grows :D
Re: Banana bp Bo progression thread

Re: Banana bp Bo progression thread
I like feeding rat pups I have to select the size because some can be bigger than others but I like giving those to my boy!
Mine just turned 5 months old

I'm excited to keep feeding him rats, I'm hoping it'll get him to gain some weight. He's still so thin from his little hunger strike, poor guy :rolleyes:
Re: Banana bp Bo progression thread
It will rats have more calories than mice. Lol
More nutritious of the things they need

I know, they're not too much bigger than the mice he was eating before so I didn't think he was gonna gain weight just from the size lol. I didn't think they were necessarily more nutritious, though? Don't know for sure, but I thought they were just fattier

Start feeding rats and you will see weight gain. Pups still nurse so yeah they are "fatty"

Yes, I know. When I said I hoped they would help him gain weight I meant it in a sort of rhetorical way, I know rats will make him gain weight.

She's right around three feet long and 730 grams. I got her about 6 months ago and she was like 220-250 grams. She was tiny for her age when I got her but she's growing quick now.
