Hey guys'n'gals. been a fair while since i posted, and thought i may aswell abandon my old thread and start a new one as a growth journal. Just the one pic to start with this time, Pedro sure has grown alot recently. how do you guys think he's looking?
aww thanks for all the kind words! jann, im not 100% sure, as the crappy place i got him from simply said "dunno....bout a month.." when i asked how old he was when i bought him. ive had him for 4 months, and id say he was at least half that when i got him, so im lening towards the 6 month mark. his colours are changing by the week! cant wait to see what he looks like when he's all grown up veileds usually grow until theyre about a year old right? as silly as it is, i just dont want him to stop! its so rewarding to see them getting bigger and more colourful... ive bought him some cool plants to put in his enclosure (im addicted to buying things for my reptiles..true story -_- ) and ill post the pics once ive done my weekly clean and put his new toys in
a few more new pics of pedro, with an arm and hand in some shots for scale
he's really quite friendly now, and if he sees me walking by his viv, he'll often run over and start scratching the glass until i let him out, whereupon he'll just sit on my hand for ages.. im really surprised by this, especially after what ive read about veiled's temperaments. i took a shot of his back legs.. are they looking good and strong? no warning signs of that dreaded 3 letter swear word i hope... anyway.. pics. P.S. apologies for the picture quality, taking pics with one hand while he's on the move is a little taxing
He looks very green and healthy from here , you are lucky to get a friendly guy - mine scratches to come out sometimes, but doesn't really want me even watching him when he's free, lol.
