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?

How is Thor doing? has he grown another inch in 2 days? :mrgreen:
how is his appetite?

He is doing good I will do an update on his thread maybe this evening or tomorrow.
Appetite back to good old Thor standards.

Love the grey flares behind his head. Where they always grey or did they go dark first?

Do you mean his "shoulder pads" as I put it?
Basically anything that goes dark on him will turn lavender/greyish when he is happy or wearing his bright colors.
When he is dark or upset his shoulder pads get to be very dark.

He looks great Michael! Dresden finally got his appetite back the last couple of days so he should be growing here soon. He saw how handsome Thor is and decided to get his butt back in gear :lol:

I know I haven't been posting allot lately. Everything is fine just needed a break from the forums for a bit. However I don't want everyone to be left in the dark on Thor's progress.
He is doing great still. Still eating like Thor. Today I measured and weighed him. The weight isn't accurate as it came out at 408 grams, this is inaccurate because he had just ate.
I would guess him to be closer to the 395 gram area. He measures 20.25 inches now. I will try to get some pictures up this weekend. :wink:

wow just zoomed past the 20" mark didn't he!? If I were you, I'd get busy on those blue prints for a wagon. :D

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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.
