Tico Update Pics (taken 28NOV2011)

Just some shots of Tico in a soak this evening. He is growing fast and his coloring changes from day to day. We are really having fun watching this little dude grow. I didn't get measurements but you can see a size comparison pic. Thanks for looking.

And one of him on his basking spot

Wow Vinnie. I can't believe how much Tico has grown. He is going to outgrow his new enclosure before you know it. He is so beautiful. Just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks everyone, it's been a lot of spraying and managing humidity levels but I think it's been worth it!

I haven't weighed him recently, a few weeks ago he was just under 600 grams so probably around 600 +or- a few grams.

Wow, he is stunning!!!

Man he looks fantastic. None of his siblings are quite that big. At least none of the ones I kept. My biggest ones are around 450 and some still as small as 280-300. You have done an amazing job there Vinnie. I too love watching their colors change and develop. Do you look at the plastron much? Mine are showing some really neat plastron patterns and designs. I was thinking of doing a post showing all the plastrons. Well, I find it interesting anyway...

Thanks for posting.

Tico looks beautiful!! It gives me hope that all this misting I do will pay off!! It's a full time job

Vinnie, what does Tico's diet consist of? You should start a thread about Tico care, so we can copy exactly what you do.

Do it!! That sounds fun
