Growth rate updated with pictures

Last week I posted about my BP I've had for roughly 6 months basicly doubling in weight since I purchased him. Folks wanted pictures so here we go.


Walter the day I brought him home in Feburary. in April I bought a scale and weighed him he was 225 grams, so I would guess in this picture he was 200 or maybe a little less.

Walter today at 445 grams. His birthdate according to breeder was July 14 so he's a year old this month.

Here's a little better picture I took of him in his holding tub while I cleaned his tank this weekend.

He's a fine looking boy.

Really beautiful.

Thanks, for my first BP and my first 6 months as a keeper he's been a dream. Has only refused feeding once and most time hits and coils like a freight train. He's a pretty timid guy, never has struck at me or even hissed. Ive kept handling to somewhat minimum with him being so timid,maybe once or twice a week for a short period and now he seems to be a lot more comfortable with it.
He's been a great beginner BP and I've learned a lot with him and on here. May have to pick him up a girlfriend soon

A second one sounds like a great idea!

As soon as I get this guy set up in his new enclosure I'll have an empty tank that will just about force me to use so it doesn't just sit there and go to waste .....right.

Right, why would you waste an empty tank? Lol.
