This is Crinkles- He had a rough start and when I got him he had stuck shed over his tail, hips and arms,the skin had dried around his tail which became deformed and had a kink at the end, It was a struggle removing the dried skin, I didnt know if he would lose that tail altogether, He's now 7.6g from 2g, He's suddenly become very friendly and will come out onto my hand if I place it in front of him. He's a great little guy. His brother Newt was always stunted and sadly never picked up and passed away but I'm delighted this guy has pulled through. He's a great little guy and i'm loving that fact he's happy to come out and see me.
The day I got him

Poorly tail at a few weeks


getting bigger and better

and now today looking gorgeous -just starting to get his unhappy colours on so end of photo shoot! - you can still see a little discolouration where the tail was deformed but that will go i think and the 45 % sharp kink at the end of his tail is completely gone.

 
Awwww, he's gorgeous! I remember when mine was that tiny! You've done a fab job with him! I got my first Jackson when he was 7 weeks old and he also weighed 2g. The first few months I ws convinced I would find him dead every morning, but he made it and became the friendliest cham I have ever had. Everyone who met him fell in love with him!
 
That's a help knowing yours was 2g at 7 weeks, When I bought them i was told they were 3-4months- Pahh! I always thought more like 3-4 weeks. Yes I've been though the stage of looking at the bottom of the viv before looking in the twigs- Now I'm in the next stage of similar angst as I'v read there's a natural sudden death of a percentage of babies at 5 months old. Sounds sweet- your one that everyone fell in love with. My panther is the same- he charms everyone. :love::love::love: They touch your lives forever dont they.
