Thought i'd make a thread for Hige since i love taking photo's. I essentially rescued him from a family who tried their best but didn't seem to know what they were doing - he was only 295g at 18 months when i got him compared to the female in with him who they said was the same age at 455g. I quickly seperated the two and the girl now lives with a friend of mine and is also doing better. Higes now around 350g and doing well. He's being treated for parasites and his enclosure improved. He looks much healthier than before! I named him Hige since it is japanese for 'beard' (pronounced 'hee-gay').
When i got him:
Settling down a bit:

Unimpressed Hige begins worming:
Interrupted basking nap:
Adventures to follow!
