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?

Thor had a bath today, got weighed and took some pictures.
I think he is trying to tell me he is too big for his decor...

Antagonizing Ifrit, for good measure of course..
If you remember a while back I took a picture of these two side by side in my hands, didn't want to attempt that again so this was the safest alternative.

I am thinking he is close to full grown, perhaps put on a few more grams but, I think his length is done.

How old is Thor? My male Frank is just over 17 inches and is only 6 months old. I wonder if he'll be as big as Thor?!

How long is he now?
Just shy of 22 inches.
Wow epic!!! Chief is right about 20 inches now. He got sick for a couple of months and slowed down on eating and growing, and now he's brumating. He's about 6.5 months old

I love the comparison pics! You need to do that with Odin if you haven't already. I think Kratos is done growing in length as well and he is finally catching up to Thor in weight, but he still has about 20 grams to go.

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!
