Thor's Thread 03-14-12

As some may know my little Thor is growing well. More then doubled in size since I got him ~2 months ago. I have him on a very varied diet. He has shown a flighty, aggressive attitude toward me in the past and the more I have been hand feeding him he has been coming around more and more. Progress! He is in a 40 gallon breeder enclosure, 24 inch Reptisun 10.0 (2/3 enclosure length) Has a piece of decor I got from a local pet shop, the piece was broken (which I fixed) so I got it for half price :wink: This decor allows him to get 6 inches from his UV source and ~6 inches from his primary basking light. His basking temperature is ~107-111°F. He is provided a daily salad which he does eat. Dusting per a preferred dusting schedule. Only RepCal supplements used. Has a low profile large diameter water dish. Reptile carpet substrate a hammock and a vine used to help get up his basking decor. The basking decor doubles for shade, UV cover. Thor is bathed 2 times a week.

Typical daily diet - ~50-70 1/4 crickets, 15-20 small silkworms, ~2-5 small butterworms, 1-4 small hornworms. He gets an occasional wax worm when I have them has had reptiworms in the past. Thor has yet to deny any feeder offered.

I will get pictures up on this thread of him soon. I will leave this with a question... anything I can improve on?

Thor is an impressive beardie, that's for sure. I've forgotten where he came from.(Among thousands of other things)

Edit: I went back and looked at beginning of Thor's thread to see if I could find the above info. Noticed by baby pics that he looks like a Rio baby.?

Thanks!

[Esther19]

Oh, that's right. Now I remember when he brought him home. Thank you. :mrgreen:

 

[Beardednoob]

Yes Brandon is correct, all my dragons are from Petsmart. :wink:
Thank you everyone as I am sure Thor appreciates the comments.

 

[FranktheTank]

Do you think you'll be breeding Thor in the future?

-Kaleen

 

[Beardednoob]

I don't have intentions to breed him at least not with my female, too much $ and time to raise the clutch etc..

 

[Beardednoob]

Thor is weighing in at a flat 600 grams now. I think it is mostly tail...
Speaking of...

LOL

I had troubles fitting him in the picture all the way :roll:

(And year I need a new chair, I am now accepting donations for my chair fund! JK)

Okay so I know you hear this all the time but: Thor is huge! And that tail is just awesome, I thought Tyrus' tail was long but Jeeze :shock:
