Neptune's birthday

Neptune's birthday passed by in oct when I was adjusting to a new schedule so I didn't get on to update you guys. The old man is 13. He is gaining weight right now (he went really skinny for a time as we struggled with his sight issues and finally found the right feeder cup for him) and other than some shakiness he seems to be just fine. Plenty of grumpiness and attitude still left in him. I don't know how long he will live to be. He has definitely slowed a bit and still struggles with his depth perception or some potential sight loss. But at 13 we can't ask for much more!

For a 90 day reptile 4,000 is quite impressive.

Lol yes very much so. He amazes me. He was a rescue i took in from a member here years ago. I actually never was sure he would live past his first few days and then wasn't sure about the next year as we got him rehabilitated with his MBD diagnosis and dehydration issues. The vet is very happy with him at his last check when we moved to our new city. So that's all I can ask.

13 is amazing! Good work! Keep it up! That’s all I can say!

We will keep him going as long as he is... happy? Its hard to tell with him sometimes perpetual grumpy. But he still enjoys trying to hunt larger flies even if he misses them more than not. Will tolerate handling if it means he can ask outside when its warm enough (he loves the sun so much). And loves a warm shower. Hornworms are his current favorite feeder.
