OK! We were just sitting down to dinner when we heard a bang at the window! So my 12 year old (Sydney) looks down and exclaims..."Oh look! It's MONSTRO! My wife and I just looked at each other as if we were thinking the same thing at the same time! SO! Lo and behold...

Climber is now MONSTRO!

Why you ask? Disregard the fact that at 3.5 years old, he is 18.25" and weighs a hair over 36 pounds!

Here are a few shots from the last hour...since his name change!

The last shot seems to be his favorite activity...there's no mechanics to it...just going through the motions. Even so...I'm still working out how to divide the yard three ways...for him...for Jamie...and for the Sudans!

Agreed, very smooth shell! I don't think you could have picked a better name!

Well suited name I have to say and LOVE the 4th picture the most. He looks so sweet in that picture. His eyes are so nice and open round and he looks as if he is in deep thought. Have you ever wondered what they are thinking during moments like that?

Holy cow has he gotten big. How do you always get those open mouth shots? Its only because of you that I know what the inside of a sulcata mouth looks like.

It's funny! His front legs have only recently started to bulk up! He still lumbers around having to carry that massive shell on his adolescent frame! He's gonna be an absolute beast by the time summer's over! Stay tuned!
