Kratos update

We got our little man Sept 10th he weighed 148grams and was 14 3/4 in length. I think I measured his squirmy butt wrong or he hasn't grown anymore in length yet.  His hatch date was approximately April 9th.
He has settled in nicely with us and is eating like a piggy. He chows down about 70-80 feeders a day. So far he is only eating a few bites of salad everyday.
This was the day we brought him home

This is exactly one week later weighing in at 202 gms

And finally today at bath time

I know LOVE the legs...he does that all the time! Reminds me of a dog haha.

Man what are you feeding that thing. His tail is huge. Very good looking beardie you got their.

Thanks and right now he's only eating butters, roaches, supers and salad! He's really picky!!

It looks like you covered him with fluffy white cotton or nylon rather than him shedding. That's hilarious! He's quite a looker!

I need to update with more pics, I will try to get some up tomorrow or later in the week. Kratos is weighing in at 421 grams today and is 17 1/2 in. So he has grown a half inch in a week! I'm a little frustrated that his appetite hasn't fully returned after he finished his meds. It's been weeks and he's still not eating enough. He goes back into the vet tomorrow I'm wanting them to run a blood test to check his kidneys, due to the urate issue we are having . I'll update either after the visit or after we get the lab results back.

Poor baby! : (

Defintely keep us updated

Here's a couple pics as promised. I was too lazy to pull the good camera out so these are all taken on my phone. We went to the vet this morning and she decided that blood work and X-ray may be a good idea. I had to leave him there for the blood work, she wanted to put him in the incubator to get him nice and toasty before she draws blood. I'm holding off on the X-ray until next payday. I will be picking him up around 12. I really hope that he isn't to stressed out or hungry, he missed his breakfast darn it!!
Oh and the vets scale said he was 425 grams

How's Kratos, did you pick him up yet?

How's Kratos, did you pick him up yet?

-Kaleen

NO!!! I guess the vet tech couldn't get enough blood so now I have to wait for the vet to do it herself. Makes me really mad!

So Kratos had a big day! I didn't get to pick him up until 2pm and by that time I had to go pick up my son, and a quick trip to pet smart. He seemed to handle everything like a champ with very little stress. He didnt eat much today though, which I expected.

 

[FranktheTank]

I'm glad you finally got him back, when do you get the results?

-Kaleen

 

[jewl495]

It will be a couple of days....so wed or thurs I would think.
