Happy Birthday Apollo

[EL Ziggy]

My guy Apollo was hatched on 7/11/14. I got him a month later at 42g. He was 920g today. He's got a much better attitude too.

Beautiful animal. Judging from the size of him, it's probably a good thing that his attitude has improved;)

Looking good! Happy b-day Apollo!

Thanks Jim. Funny thing is he tagged me about a week ago which he hadn't done since the first week I got him. He hadn't eaten in 2 weeks while I was moving. I went to open his tub and he s'd up and started hissing. I decided to pick him up anyway and sure enough he got me good. He was fine after I got him out but he did draw blood. I fed him later that night and he's been fine every since. I think he was just hungry. It's amazing how fast they are. :)

Looking good! Happy b-day Apollo!
Thanks Adrian!

Curse you and Apollo, the more I see of him the more I want one, lol. But I doubt I'd find one that looked that good...

Congrats on the bday! He really is a beautiful creature. =)

LOL. Thanks y'all. If you're ever interested in getting one of these or other Pits, check out Jason Nelson at Envy Reptiles. I think he produces some of the finest Pits in the country. His blizzard bulls are AMAZING!

Happy bday for Apollo! <3 He's sooo badass in this last pic, haha! And yeah, I know that "hungry bites", and "that's your fault human, because you're not giving me enough mices!" :D

Happy bday Apollo, you're one pretty boy!

Thanks Sylphie, that's exactly what the problem was too! I won't make that mistake again anytime soon. ;)

Happy bday Apollo, you're one pretty boy!
Thanks D. Your girl is going to grow like a weed too. Im looking forward to seeing more pictures of her.

Happy Birthday Apollo! Crazy growth in just a year! He looks so badass :cool:

I'm wondering; what is that substrate he was on in the baby pic? Looks neat...

[SnoopySnake]

Sani chips

Apollo makes me want a bull. I'm just not really a colubrid person though

Thanks EL!

Thanks Panda. I thought the last picture was pretty menacing too :). As Snoopy said, those are sani-chips in the first picture. I LOVE them. I bought a bag of sani chips and a bag of shredded aspen to see which I liked best and I'd say the sani-chips hands down. Even though the bulls do move it around a lot, it's less dusty than regular or shredded aspen and holds burrows well. I finished off that bag and have the snakes on shredded aspen now but as soon as I'm finished with the bag I've got (2) unopened bags of sani-chips ready to go.

Good work! He's really put on some size in the past year.

Good work! He's really put on some size in the past year.

Thanks Em. He's no Loki but he's growing well :). He's actually a little larger than my female bull was at the one year mark. She was 842g and he's 920g. She's a touch under 6ft and over 2100g now and she won't be two until September. I hope Apollo continues to follow suit.

Great looking ghostly snake. He looks ghostly to me!

I can see ghostly. I may have named him Ghost if I had thought of it. :)
