Nothing as cool as coming home and being awaited by your little friend during his lunch break excursion.

He's adorable!!!!

Yes, my imported from Kenya, full adult male is around 110. He might be pushing his weight limit just a little. I see a bit of fat poking out behind his casque in the picture above.

I just weight Sonny again and he hit 144 gram , he isn´t fat and still has his ´skinny lines´, he also is pretty active. He roams a lot through his free range or even the reptile room, but that´s the time of the year. Also he went on full body shed for second time in 5 weeks, last time before was November last year.

Also got that feeling his horns keep growing.

 

[Sonny13]

Had a cage in the spare…..perfect for outdoor use. Now I don’t need to constantly keep an eye on him. He even hated it coming out after 7 hours

Put the cage on top of big flower pot and the plant through it, covering the hole with large stones.

I pulled the trigger today and Sonny belongs here. Good thing is the missus is directly in love with him and sorry for his “small” enclosure outside. So, the problem new enclosure is therewith tackled.

For now, Sonny will stay outside, in a planted butterfly cage, due perfect temps for upcoming 2 weeks. In the meantime I can create his final enclosure (maybe free range).

Personality is already considered as extremely mild and he ate directly a locust from my hand. Also during misting he took a long, long drink.

Sonny at his drop zone position, he would never poop in his home, proper fella.... His standard routine, waking up, going down to this spot and wait for 1 till 2 hours he´s ready for the launch

 

[dinomom]

That' a long wait. Looks like he is really concentrating.

 

[MissSkittles]

He needs a book or phone to occupy him.

 

[Sonny13]

Or maybe a nip of coffee……

First basking and then going down would help him a guess

Never witnessed him in this sleeping position, he always uses the same sleeping spot. Therefore he needed to be drunk

 

[redhorse]

At least he woke up in his own cage. My experience was a little different. ha ha ha "The Human Experience" cage = house
