Monty is 4 months old today!

[Miss Lily]

My sweet l'il Montysaurus is growing up! He is 4 month old exactly today and I just weighed and measured him. His weight is 5.8g and svl is 2.5", tip to tip is 4"! After weighing him he sat on my hand while I fed him 3 small silkworms! He is doing so well, bless him, and it feels like all my patience and hard work is paying off now!

Happy 4mo hatch-day

 

[Miss Lily]

Thanks both - he wasn't hatched though - Jacksons are live bearers so he was 'dropped' quite literally, bless him! He is still so small though, he doesn't look real either until he moves! He looks and walks like a wind up toy, lol!

LOL...what was I thinking...must...drink...another...cup...of...coffee!!!

 

[Miss Lily]

Lol! Is it early morning where you are?! It is 4.30pm here in the miserable, damp and windy UK, and it's almost dark outside! Ugh!

Ew.

But im stilll so tired. and its cold, and snowyish, and wndy, and blagh.

ON a happier note.

Happy Drop day!
YOur ittle monty is seriously making me consider a jacksons.
When I first got chams, I didnt want one... didnt like the horns that much, (didnt hate them, jsut not my species).... but with seeing monty all the time.... it might just be my next adventure.
After Okiroo and I breed out kids together hopefully this summer.

Well it was 8am when I posted that....so not that early, but still early enough to claim needing another cup of coffee

Awwwww the little bitty is starting to grow up. What are you going to do, I don't want him to grow up. He is just too cute.

Thanks Zac! Back in September I went to my friend's to see all her new babies - she had baby Veileds and 13 adorable baby Jacksons! I first saw Monty and his clutch mates at 2 weeks of age. I got him at the end of October just 5 weeks later when he was 7 weeks old and he didn't seem to have grown since I first saw him! He weighed just 2g back then and during the last 3 - 4 weeks his appetite has really picked up! He loves silkworms which is just as well as I have plenty of them at just the right size!He will actually hand feed when out of his viv for silkworms - they really get his attention! I am continuing to take a ton of photos so I can remember how small he was when he's a big boy. I have added the latest 'growth log' pic to my blog.
