He's growing! And I love the peachy colors he's developing along his sides -- such a gorgeous boy



At 5 months he has more than doubled in size since I brought him home with me. He was 83 grams empty at about a month of age, and he weighed in at 180 grams empty October 5th; I wouldn't be shocked if he were over 200 grams even now. I'm actually somewhat prideful because yay, he's growing, I'm doing something right!

My husband and I are discussing design options for his full-size enclosure, which we are considering building ourselves. Uhm, and by "ourselves", I'm really referring to my husband, who (bless him, he's awesome) thrives on creating things.

I swear, I'm the only woman in my subdivision with an aluminum smelter in her back yard. What can I say? He was bored one Saturday

Anyway, that's the scoop! He's thriving, kinked tail, micro-opthalmic eye and all.
