Zyn- I believe you captured the sentiment exactly.

Nice thread. Thanks for posting. Man, he is growing fast!

Long story short sev went down for the winter starting at the end of September. Even then he was about to shed. He came out of it a week ago and his shed was looking even worse after a week of hour baths every other day coconut oil rub downs and some heavy ended fish dinners with a mouse or two dipped in cod liver oil. His shed popped today finally. Has some tail and toes left but he's got me relieved it was dry and think.

Beautiful pink highlights. Nice going on the shed.

Took a few more days but his tails back to beautiful now that he's finally 100%

Gorgeous! Do you think his head will eventually go white?

 

[Zyn]

Yeah his parents both had full white heads with the black nose. The dame being 100% blue the sire being a high white 50% blue %50 BnW. It's getting more white with every shed

 

[Zyn]

Some more Sev updates getting close to a year size is coming on like a wrecking ball.

 

[Walter1]

You done good. Interesting stripe behind the eye.

 

[Gary]

That’s some quick growth! How much has he been eating per day?

 

[AlphaAlpha]

The colour change is amasing .... he looks great and one happy chappy

 

[Zyn]

Gary he gets a good portion of his diet as
Whole prey. I have a small colony of rats, dubia, and he gets the occasional wild frog, crayfish, cleaned earth worms, cut up chunks of bluegill. Along with his normal diet of turkey mash, mixed with beef liver and cod liver oil. This first year I’ve let him eat till he’s full. He’s starting to go a day or two between feeds depending on the size of the meal. He’s been
getting small or fuzzy rat pups twice a week he’ll gulp down two or three at a feeding.

He also brumated for three and a half months, his growth really exploded after brumation.

Just a quick pic of

climbing on Dad before bath time

 

[AlphaAlpha]

how big is he now ??? looks around the same as Alpha although he should proceed him in the end of course.

 

[Zyn]

I double checked his date of birth i was a month off in a previous post. he’ll be 1 in two weeks, he was born the last week of June last year still not sure if he is actually a he or not at this point. Anyone got a guess, not sure when the Jowels start appearing not that it matters really to me lol. But his growth after brumation has been fun to watch still shedding about every other week.

 

[Zyn]

Another month one year old and finally as long as the bathtub lol please excuse the dirty tub all dogs all just had baths to lol and at his first weigh in he’s at 4 lbs if I did t right lol
