Here is a pic of my biggest radiated, he use to be the smallest. He is getting so big and beautiful, he got a chance to get some excercise and eat some weeds today

Certainly big and beautiful :). And that is a very interesting split scute on the top! I had to count them twice because it looks exactly like the others, only a tiny bit smaller. Doesn't even look like an extra...How old is this guy, and what is his length?

Ya the split scute doesnt bother me at all, wouldnt have him any other way. I bought him 12/15/ 2010 and he was pretty small at the time. I think he was around a year old when I got him. So I believe him to be around 3 1/2 years to 4 years old. Im going to find a pic from when he was small so you can see the change

Its just the most "blended in" extra scute I've ever seen...So neat. If I'm guesttimating his size right, he is around 7-8", yes? Seems like a pretty close growth rate to red foots, huh? Maybe a little faster...
Yeah, I want more pictures of this guy :).

Always fun watching them sprout, they become more enjoyable the bigger they get.
