Oh yes, Jango has gotten quite a bit wider. I also noticed that her growth has been mostly SVL, almost as if her tail has stopped growing in length. Jango seems to constantly have shed hanging off of her. She loves to be rubbed on her face and jaw to get the pieces off. She looks like a cat being petted.

So... I guess Brutus is a boy ;)

Ya gotta watch them when they're roaming. Like a baby, they like to investigate things with their mouths. They especially like shiny metallic things. They'll eat all your spare change.

yes brutus is definitely a boy (even though he acts like a spoiled little girl sometimes!) i baby proofed our place before he was able to free roam (it has hardwood floors throughout which is nice), and his favorite place to hang out is on top of my external hard drive. silly little gu.

WOW... Zero's twin is passing him up by a whole foot! Well Zero is definitely not hibernating its December now and hes up everyday eating now. I'm amazed he was asleep a few months ago when it was warmer, at night it drops to 30 degrees and he's still up every morning wanting more food lol. He's small but maybe because he was asleep for a couple month's or some what asleep

Here's a quick pic of Cleo, curled up in her favorite spot. I heap eco on it daily and mist it down for humidity and some cushioning for her to lay on. She seems more comfortable then just laying on the wood.

She doesn't refuse meals anymore, but she eats maybe every four days. The signs I use to tell if she's hungry is her digging behavior (she goes mad in the morning digging and scratching on the glass once she's warm when she's hungry) and I've been watching how long it takes for a bowel movement, and her digestion is slowed. On days that she eats, she will bask til lights out, otherwise, she will bed down between 2 and 4 pm.

Its adorable though, if she's buried, I open the cage doors, call her names a few times and lightly tap on the substrate and she comes up to say hello and basks for a bit to warm up before going back to bed.

She's a very sweet girl.

Happy Holidays Siblings! :hug

Nah, she's actually very svelte looking when she hasn't just eaten. I'll snap a picture before I feed her today, do a before and after.

She's a silly girl. Anybody think that two rat fuzzies is too much for one meal? I didn't have to add any egg today, but that pup had blood on its nose. She didn't seem overly "stretched" after eating just one, but I am hesitant to offer two. Here's two pics of her today with said pup in mouf. :-D

btw, I've never measured her because she doesn't really cooperate with me, but she's gotta be 25 inches now w/ tail.

Yep, Cleo looks a lot like my boy Brutus... Although, Brutus is about 8-10" longer than Cleo! He has the black nose with a dark head..
