It's been a while since I've given any updates on Boon, over a year I reckon. Well, my little sister and her husband recently came up from Grand Cayman for a visit and she took this shot while I was introducing them to some outside animals. Boon is two now and beginning to bulk up a bit, jowls are starting to get some plump too. Excuse the blood on his lip, it's not his, he was helping me retire a couple ASF breeders. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thank you, he's still coming out every day which is odd for him. I'm used to him being down for the count by September but I'm not complaining - enjoying the extra month of Boon time.

A few more pics of Boon who is now down for the count. I'll let him stay outside until we get some freezing night temps then he'll come in for the winter - not necessary but I like to play it safe. I'll probably get a couple pictures of him in the off season as he comes out from under the couch every now and again to drink a bit of water or chill next to the wood burning stove.

My brother-in-law with his first tegu encounter:

A couple baby pics from 2010, amazing how much he's grown considering the boy sleeps a good 6-7 months of the year.

Thanks, I have no idea how long he is - never measured him. I'll get an accurate measurement for you when I bring him inside in the next couple months but if I had to guess I'd say he's right around 4 feet.

Thanks ya'll, he's a very well behaved boy too. Took him on his first outreach program earlier this year and he wasn't fazed in the least when the kids started hootin and hollerin at the sight of him. :p
