Me too, it's been a really amazing experience to see him go from so small and dull to growing so fast and getting really vivid colors. Definitely something that all cham owners should experience, even if the first month was super stressful because of how small he was lol

Hello everyone, another Pesto update!
Pesto has been in my care now for 12 weeks as of yesterday! We think he is roughly 4 months old just based off of his size, though if we go off of what I was told his hatch time was, he is almost 6 months old. Who knows for sure, really.
He is about 4 inches from nose to base of tail, though he really hates my tape measure so he didnt make it easy to get an exact measurement lol. He is 25g, up 6g from the 1st(19g) and up 22g from his weigh in at the vet 2 months ago!
His favorite food are hisser roaches, but he still always goes back to his faithful crickets. Hopefully in the next few months I can get him off of those.
We went outside today for some natural sun, he loves it but he really hates being handled right now lol. I think we are going to stick to once a week sun time until he gets more comfortable with me. I'm hoping to do some trust work with him when my next order of hissers comes in.
Here are some pictures of the growing boy

Right?? When he fired up that orangeam and yellow I was honestly in shock and awe of him. He has never showed that coloring before. I took a million pictures of him like that lol

By the time your boy starts to color up, my boy will be all grown, so we will be able to live through your boy! Then when your boy is grown, we can live through @JoXie411 boy!Awe, look that that stud! Definitely not a little brown boy anymore!!!

He definitely isnt that tiny brown boy we knew before. I was just watching him bask in his enclosure today thinking of how much he has grown. He is going to need new basking perches soon because he is getting too big for what he has. Hopefully he can wait until his new enclosure is ready lol
