please help me age the young Goku

[justin hardy]

I've had Goku since February 27th. So just over 2 months. Very active. As of March 29 he weighs 79.6 grams. Have to get new weight asap. Any ideas guys?

He looks like he might be about 6 months old. (and you shouldn't allow him to get started with the bad smoking habit)

He doesn't seem to have gotten much bigger overall Since feb. 6 months seems fair, call it october. Once we get to 10+ years we won't have to worry about being 1-2 months off. Hopefully I'll have him off the smokes by then

These things all help to grow a smooth, healthy sulcata - UVB (either from the sun or an expensive light), warmth, humidity, exercise and a variety of good foods.

There is no way for use to know the age. He could be 6-month to three years.

But I can offer some tips:
Use a CHE on a thermostat instead of the red bulb.
Get a substrate that can be kept damp for humidity.
Buy or build a large closed chamber, instead of the open topped one you have now.

I use cypress mulch. I do a good job of keeping this humid. I wish I could just lid this one but the walls are so low I'd block the light.

Got a zoomed powersun 100w mvb. Basking is about 98-102 at surface lv. Cold area stays about 80. Humidity is usually always between 60-80. Eats yard grasses and green leaves. Plus a little sprinG mix.
