Couldn't Be Happier!!!

[James]

Well I'm still excited now but about 10 minutes ago I held Pyro properly for about 5 minutes! This might not sound long but considering the longest he had stayed on my hand before was 30 seconds this is quite an acheivment!!! However the icing on the cake is that I had my camera handy this time so I also have evidence! Well here they are:





You can see how relaxed he is as he is cleaning himself! He has never been this relaxed on my hand before!



You can also see how small he is! He had a very slow start to life and at 11 months old is a little on the small side but he is really growing well now and eats A LOT more than it looks like he could!!!

Great news Jimmy.
How big is he? What sort weight?

[James]

He is about 7 inches long but only weighs about 23g! The female weighs 25g and is only 7 months old!

I thought he looked a bit small for his age, Sahara is about the same age and was 35g last month. He got off to a slow start though didnt he? I think youve done a great job with him considering he didnt want to eat when you first got him. I bet you cant wait for both of yours to be adult

[James]

Yeah he had a very slow start! He ate barely anything for the first month I had him then no crickets for 6 months after that! I am amazed he is still with us really as there were a few time I thought he was dead! I should be able to put the female in early next year if she continues to put on weight as quickly as she is! I can't wait! Do you have any eggs yet?
