does he have yellow bars on his sides?

 

[stuart535]

He has bars but they are a more neutral colour.And thanks for the advice too its much appreciated.

ok if hes showing bars, of any kind, i dont think hes 10 weeks old, id put im at about 4-5 months old.

but get me a pic of him on your hand ( ) and ill judge better from there.
