Nelson is getting big!

[ChiKat]

I was in Costa Rica for a week and a friend took care of Nelson.
Now that I'm back he seems so much bigger to me and he's HEAVY!

Taking a dip in his frisbee pool

Eating...his favorite thing to do

A little shower

His first taste of daylily- he's a fan

I have to agree with you. He does look quite a bit bigger from the last time you posted pictures of him. He's growing very nicely.

Nelson is so cute and yes, since the last time we saw his pic, he got bigger . I love the idea of the frisbee pool, it looks very nice!

 

[rwfoss]

He is so gorgeous. You have done a fantastic job with that baby, I can only hope to do half as good when I finally get some.

Thanks for the idea of the frisbee pool! I have been looking for a good dish for my 3 hatchling's new enclosure, and that's definately a great idea!

What's his SCL? Trevor is edging towards 4 inches! Very cute. It seems like Nelson gets a lot more humidity than Trevor does...very jealous you have the weather for outdoor time. We're never without rain, warm, day time, and home at the same time here.

Kate, I just measured him and he is roughly 3.25" I need to get a digital caliper to be more accurate- he wouldn't put his head in his shell so it is somewhere around there- maybe a little bigger (?)
He's also 124 grams.

I haven't had Nelson outside as much as I have wanted to this summer. It's definitely humid around here though!

Nelson is a camera hog. He is a food hog. He is an attention hog. He is spoiled rotten, and we wouldn't have him any other way. He's a totally charming little piggie with his beefy legs and chubby chins.

Nelson is one of my favorite Russians on this site. I would love for you to take a picture of him with your hand so I can see how big he really is. They do love to eat all of the time don't they. Did you bring him a souvenir from Costa Rica?

The infamous Nelson! Always a delight to see. I too really love the frisbee pool idea, can I steal it from you?

Your comments always make me smile. His legs are getting pretty beefy!
