I realized i have not updated a while about Renji and Rukia, my dwarf Nicaragua pair. My canon battery charger is broken, so until my new one gets here no picture update.. (ok ok ... maybe a few mobile pics :D)
Anyway. They are both doing really well, Rukia is approaching 3 feet growing very rapidly, she has grown to more than twice her size since she got here! Always sheds in one piece and she's still a garbage disposal that will eat anything! If it looks remotely edible she'll eat it.. She ate a quail.. And a canary. And a hamster, even a drumstick once. She is still hellbent on killing me, wish she would calm down a bit for her own sake. It doesn't really matter much for me personally though. However she gets into a defensive position as soon as someone enters the attic. That and all the nipping when she sees movement, just seems stressful. As long as she's doing this well i won't worry though, she's not intimidating me.
Renji is still a little over 3 feet, he probably won't grow much since he is almost 5 years old. However, he has not refused a meal in 3 months and is back to a slightly more normal weight. He was a bit on the slim side after refusing food for a while, adult male hormonal issues :p. It was also when he was at his most aggressive, lunging at everything that moved. We'll see once his hormones gets back up there if he stays like this or not, he has a very curious character when he is not overflowing with hormones. He doesn't try to bite that often. (Providing i don't try to physically touch him) and follows you around the room.

Rukia (Boa Constrictor Imperator 'Nicaragua' T+ Albino) seconds before trying to bite my phone. there's a strange red hue over this picture, no idea how it got on there.
