Thor's Thread 03-14-12

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?

Almost feels like just a few hours ago LOL
This guy has been growing soooo much, I personally think it is attributed to the varied diet. :wink:

Verily! Huzah!

He's just being godly, he can't help it. My next dragon is getting named Zeus or something.

Too quickly... think I am gonna not feed him for a few weeks so he stays a baby forever :shock:

I can't believe he grows daily! Dres hasn't gained a mm in a week but he is up to 113 grams today. It's too bad you don't know what his parents look like. It'd be nice to know what his genetics are.

What veggies have you been feeding?

I feed collard, mustard greens and bok choy. He likes blueberries too.

Where did you get Thor? I can't recall you saying and although I tried to go back through all the posts, I soon lost out to laziness and thought I'd just ask. 8)

Growth Chart for Thor
Dates 08-18 to 08-25 are inaccurate for weights due to an analog scale I was using.

More pictures of Thor to follow :mrgreen:

Today Thor has started to figure out the whole head bobbing business. I tried my best to get video of him doing so but, I haven't been able to get any. Still waiting for the first black beard. :wink:
I thought he was going to shed today or yesterday, bathed both days but, nothing yet. :?

 

[McSkweeky]

He is looking good!

 

[Mirthy]

he's obviously thinking really hard about that shed. Goodness! Look at those inches just keep adding on. That's wonderful!
