According to the breeder Rufus pipped in early November 2012. When we got him at 2 months old he was 41g and 2" scl. Let's just say he has been growing like a weed! Here are some photos!
This is in January

And today
6"!

Happy birthday

That sure is a lot of white at the one year mark. I'd love to know how much time he spends outdoors? If he spends most of the time inside, I wonder if that would contribute to the light coloring..hmm. ??

He does spend a lot of time inside. Usually 2 hours per week outside. Next spring he will move into a big outdoor enclosure. Maybe that is why he is so light. We will see.
