Happy Birthday, Julius! (Mojo)

[Lolo76]

Julius the Mojave just turned a year old, so I thought I'd show him off with some photos. Hard to believe this guy weighed only 93g when he arrived (from JKobylka) last September, and he's now a whopping 1066g! He's not really fond of rats, so he eats 2-3 mice weekly... hardly a power-feeding diet, so I guess he's just a natural hulk.



I'm outta here...


I knew he'd wrap around this beer bottle, hence the finger holding it steady...


And to think, he fit entirely in my palm last year!

Handsome young man you have there!

Wow that is quite a growth spert. My oldest bp is about a year now and I think last time I weighed him he was around 700

Yeah, he's a monster! My other yearlings are between 700-800g, and they're all offered (basically) the same diet... so yours and my others are right on track, whereas Julius seems to be ahead of schedule. I wonder if they'll end up around the same size, or if Julius will always be larger than average?

Julius is just gorgeous! He is a very big boy!

[Lolo76]

Thanks! Btw, he might be a daddy soon (eggs are on day 47 of incubation), but I suspect the pastel won that race... we'll see!

Very nice looking mojo boy, he's going to be a busy boy soon I suspect
