Really had no idea Taz was this big.... :|

So, the last time I measured Taz, he was RIGHT at 12 inches long. That wasn't that long ago... he's been through two partial sheds since then, one of his tail, and one of his back legs. I'm thinking, ok... he's probably 14 or so inches... maybe 16, but doubtful... I measured him just a few minutes ago, and the little stinker is a whopping NINETEEN inches long! :shock: WOAH! When did this happen? lol
I guess because I see him every day I don't realize how fast he's growing... or really see him growing at all. He's still eating like a pig, so I'm wondering how big he's going to be in the end.

Here he is in his feeding bin, letting a few crickets get past. Don't be deceived by one cricket you can see... there was an egg crate just to the left and all the crickets were on that. They'd climb off one by one, and he was watching for them! As they climbed off and towards the other end of the tub, he'd pick them off one by one. I think he thinks it's a game... lol.

Thank you!
Just don't tell HIM he's handsome... he's got a big enough head as it is! :lol:
He's about a year old. The pet shop guy said he was a desert red, and he wasn't sure how old he was. He gave me about a two month time frame, and I just kinda picked a birthdate. He was the only red one the guy had, and I really wanted a red!
