Hannibal 128.5 Grams

**mld** · 07-09-2010, 10:56 PM

Well little Hannible is really starting to grow fast. 2 weeks ago he was 83 grams and today 128.5 grams. Here's a few picture of the big guy/gal. One picture is from his last set of pictures when he was smaller.
Hope you enjoy, and let me know if they are suppose to grow this fast!

I don't know how fast they are suppose to grow but, WOW! That's fast! Really awesome and he's looking great as always.

Hi Michelle,
he/she is growing very well, yes, they DO grow quickly under optimum conditions, how old is the dragon now, and can you possibly take a photo under the tail base? Just hold him/her in your hand and show the underside, no need to actually turn upside down. Thanks!

Yes I will give it a try, hope he doesn't poop on my camera.

I bought him the 9th of May and they said he was 6 weeks old
He is just finished eating so I'll wait to take picture later at just before his next meal.

If you can also take a length measurement, both SV and TL (snout to vent and total length), he/she looks to be around 12 inches TL and so add a couple more for the piece that was lost it makes 14inches, they mature much earlier in captivity, although 3 months is a little too early for that, I think. (But well done, you`re obviously doing things right)!

Yes, I keep a record of his growth.
July 8th 6.25" SV
11.5" ST ( add 2" for the lost bit )
6" Girth
I tried to take picture of his under side but they turned out bad quality

Thanks for that, even though they`re not good quality, can you put a pic of the underside up, I`m looking at the tail base to see any signs of hemipeneal bulges or lack of (although it may be a little too soon).

Here is the pictures, like I said they are bad quality. My daughter is away with the good camera.
It was a little hard holding and taking picture with top of camera holding up the tail at the same time as taking the pic.
