Splat at 6 1/2 months

[warpdrive]

Hi everyone,

well, Splat is getting biger and nicer in color by the day.
he's now 6 1/2 months old.
6.5" STV, 13" total
eats like a pig.
he will be going into his adult cage next week after I cut some more tree braches for it....back is killing me.

he freely comes out of his cage on his own if I leave the door open.
he's not shy, and almost never gets mad or scared at anything.
(so when I do piss him off it's rare and I took some picks to show you.)

I also took him outside again this week and he loved it...my neighbors seem to like him too but if they get too close he puffs up a bit.
he also "flashed" me when he was outside before I understood what it was and it got sucked back inside...lol.
he also ate 2 stupid yellowjacks that got too close to him when he was outside...I hope they were gutloded well.
(no harm was done to him durring the eatting, I checked)

here are some latest pics of him.....

it's my worm, and I'll suck on it if I want to...

hey, is that a ficus tree in that new cage over there???
(he comes out on his own if the door is left open)

outside exploring the bushes...

I pissed him off with the camera...

oh, I remember when he was just a little monster when I first got him.
now he's turning into a beast.

thank you all for your great advice as I could not be a better keeper without you all.

with love,
Harry and Splat

Little Splat. it doesn't seem possible. The colors in pic 4 are really looking good, he just gets better and better Harry. You may only have one but he sure is a beauty.

thank you all for the kind words everyone.

sadly, flickr doesn't save the colors as nice as the original photos...he realy looks alot more colorful and brighter too when looking on my computer.
I also know he's not showing much reds in the photos, but you gata see him when he walks on my hands..the reds, greens, and yellows are just like a rainbow.

yeah, it's so silly Laurie. little splat was just 2" max STV when I got him at six weeks old.
now he's a monster and still growing.

again, it's all because you guys and gals here are the best for advice that Splat is doing so well...you never get enough credit, but thank you again for everything.

Harry

He's gorgeous! I love it when people post 'progress' pics so we get to see them change and grow and burst into colour! Wonderful stuff!
