As some may know my little Thor is growing well. More then doubled in size since I got him ~2 months ago. I have him on a very varied diet. He has shown a flighty, aggressive attitude toward me in the past and the more I have been hand feeding him he has been coming around more and more. Progress! He is in a 40 gallon breeder enclosure, 24 inch Reptisun 10.0 (2/3 enclosure length) Has a piece of decor I got from a local pet shop, the piece was broken (which I fixed) so I got it for half price :wink: This decor allows him to get 6 inches from his UV source and ~6 inches from his primary basking light. His basking temperature is ~107-111°F. He is provided a daily salad which he does eat. Dusting per a preferred dusting schedule. Only RepCal supplements used. Has a low profile large diameter water dish. Reptile carpet substrate a hammock and a vine used to help get up his basking decor. The basking decor doubles for shade, UV cover. Thor is bathed 2 times a week.

Typical daily diet - ~50-70 1/4 crickets, 15-20 small silkworms, ~2-5 small butterworms, 1-4 small hornworms. He gets an occasional wax worm when I have them has had reptiworms in the past. Thor has yet to deny any feeder offered.

I will get pictures up on this thread of him soon. I will leave this with a question... anything I can improve on?

looking at his progression is crazy! Good job on the time line pics. Surprised he is not sleeping, all this growing must be tiring.
I know I have said it before but I am jealous. Thor is now longer than Horus. (He is about a year when I got him, 12", in a ten gal tank)
He has some major thor envy going on.

I appreciate it, I also want to say that it is not what the dragon looks like that makes us love them so much. Sure looks are appealing but, getting to know your pet is a level beyond appearance. :wink:

He is just growing so quickly... I must look for my old diary and see how Kazi compared at that ago (i have a feeling Kazi was nowhere near as big as Thor!)

BUSTED! LOL, went to go put the dragons to bed and Thor was catching a late night snack. Doesn't he know this will only prolong his time until he can go to bed?

Old lettuce chops! :D Great he loves his greens! I usally take it out at 8 PM..or I have the two hours before heading to bed myself. Your pictures are great! Do you always carry a camera with you? I've finally left the tripod up in rufus' room to make it easier to get those unexpected shots so now I need to spend more time in there too. Hopefully he will grow accustomed to the gear and my hovering :)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
