Hi CooperDragon,
thanks for the welcome
we live on the Kapiti Coast, about 40 mins North of Wellington. . . I have uploaded some photos, hopefully this works! so as I said, he is around 5 years old, and weighs in about 400gms from tip to tail he is around 43 cms.
the tip of his tail was black when I got him as a hatchling, and it hasn't gotten any worse, though I was wondering if its something I should have removed? or worry about? he eats plenty of greens, and loves broccoli
