Update

Well i popped a few pictures today. None of them were great, but that's life. 1st, I took the picture only to discover the lens was dirty. 2nd, I took the picture but the auto function kept the flash from going off. By then he had ducked into his plant and there was no getting a good shot. I swear I have had an easier time in Scuba Photography than taking pictures of this guy. He's pretty shy, so i've only really tried twice. He was irritated in the first one, and was totally P O'ed in the second.

helpful hint

just a lil hint.. instead of twisties for the branches, grab a spool of fishing line... Works like magic and doesnt rust!

 

[jannb]

Wow! He's growing fast and a very handsome guy!

 

[So Pirate55]

thanks, i never even thought about using fishing line.

 

[ciafardo 4]

plastic zip ties work good too

 

[So Pirate55]

right now i cant find zipties small enough to go through the screen in his current enclosure.

 

[AndrewH]

is that a 1 month difference??! that looks great!

 

[So Pirate55]

yeah, here i was thinking he was growing kinda slow and not showing much color. I think he was a little younger than I originally thought when i first got him. If i had to guess, he's probably about 3 inches or so snout to vent, add another 2-3 for the tail

 

[FOREVER ENDEAVOR]

he is coloring up very nice.

 

[So Pirate55]

i got to admit, he just shed 2 days ago so i had to slip in there and snap a few pictures.

 

[So Pirate55]

So i finally broke down and actually handled him for the first time today. i'm not going to handle him unless i absolutely have to. But while i had him out i figured i'd try for a picture and this was the best i could do. I think he's coloring up rather nicely.
