falkor's story

so, i thought i'd go ahead and start up an ongoing thread for falkor. if you're interested in reading about his beginnings and the mini adventure i've gone through trying to right the wrongs of the pet store, check out my introduction thread here - viewtopic.php?f=44&t=131036&start=0. either way, i'm going to go ahead and repost the pictures from that thread and continue to add to them


the day i brought him home along with his original setup:

his current setup (the middle is a little dirty from calcium dust - time to clean the carpet)

almost looks like it could have been take outside - well, except for that black cord ;-)

"i'm sure i could reach that plateau...doesn't look that far..."

i LOVE how this shot turned out:

here's a funny shot i took the other night of him sleeping. he normally sleeps up on his branch, but on this particular night, he didn't quite make it before falling asleep :-D

hunting crickets:

hanging out on my hand while shedding his legs:

another cool close-up:

trying to surf the internet - sorry buddy, you just don't weigh enough to press down the keys:

i just bought some slate tile tonight and i have it all ready to go in. that'll happen as soon as i get out of work tomorrow. count on some more pictures then. i'm so excited - i think it'll look really cool :-D

sorry i'm a little late in posting an update this week, but here it is. falkor gained about 19 grams this week - she's now up to 260 grams and 16.75" long. nothing super exciting happened this past week. she did get to try her first dubia and she LOVED it. i was a little afraid that she would end up not wanting crickets after getting the roach, but she's still been gobbling them down like crazy as well. so that was a relief. the dubia colony is starting to build up, but it's not ready to feed fully out of yet, so i'm going to start gradually introducing the roaches in - just a few each week for now.


weekly weigh-in - as you can see, she's starting to get a little cramped in the little tupperware bowl i was using to weigh her:

so, i got out a bigger bowl to start using from now on:

a great sexy-leg shot:

these next few show the odd sleeping position of the week. she was partly on her hammock and partly on her branch. in the third picture, you can see how much her belly was spilling over. she's just so silly sometimes.

That is a FANTASTIC Sexy leg shot... the look on her face.. hehe Too funny!

I'm sure she was glad for the upgrade in the weighing container!
Glad she is doing well and enjoying some dubia's and crickets yum yum!

Great shots Aaron! I particularly like the new bowl shot. It's like she's hanging there going "About time!"
