    Introducing Loki

    I purchased Loki on November 16 (from craigslist). The man I got him from said he was around a year old. He came with a 10 gallon tank with a heat lamp and no thermometer. He was on some kind of wood chip bedding that was very sharp to the touch. For being a year old he was very small, around 400 grams when I first weighed him. He was very much in the middle of a shed when I got him. First things first, I put a temperature monitor in his tank. The 'hot side' ran in the low 80's and the cold side in the high 70s. About 3 days after I got him, I picked up a new 55 gallon aquarium for him. I set it up, put him on eco earth and got him a light that was strong enough to get his basking spot up to 92 and a second light to keep the cool side up to the low 80s. He is very active and loves exploring his tank in the late evenings. He eats a small rat every Thursday and by Monday he is already hunting for another meal.

    Since November 16th he has shed every 2 to 3 weeks and put on a lot of weight. At last weigh in he was 932 grams. I am very pleased with his progress. I have been lazy about introducing him with the holidays and all.

    Here are some pictures from today:
    Stretched out to his full length.
    And curled up under the good lights showing his colors.

    I am assuming he is a normal?

    I am planning on getting set up with a T8 by my birthday in April.

    Thanks for reading.

    Yeah, he's a normal. He could be a het, but it is very unlikely and you could only find out if you breed him out. I will say that you probably saved him from what was apparently a very neglectful home. Probably saved his life. Good for you! And a lovely boy! Have you had him sexed to make sure it is a boy?

    HOLY. Sounds like he's partaking in Winter Bulking Season. Great job getting him back in shape! I'm sure he'll make an awesome addition to your collection. I have one normal female and four other morphs, but my normal definitely has the best personality.

    Welcome Loki!

    Thanks so much! I figured he was a normal. Even if he's not a special morph he's my baby.
