Curious George

My male storri seems to be getting cabin fever, which Is odd because he is 11 inches total length in a 4x3x2 enclosure. Anyways, he makes his 'rounds' from 6 am till 12 back and forth, only stopping for 10 minute bask. So I've begun to allow him out if he chooses. I stick my arm in the enclosure, and he crawls out on his own, hangs out on me for a bit and freely goes back into the enclosure when I make an arm bridge for him to get back haha

Took a few videos today, thought you guys might enjoy them. The female is always in the back just barely showing her head to keep an eye on me. No interaction with her these days.

He's awesome!

I didn't realize just how small they were, how much bigger will he get?

He probably won't get any bigger. He hasn't gotten much bigger at all since I got him. Maximum length for the species according to most is 35 cm. Right now he is at 29 , 11.5 inches. The female is an inch shorter which is normal (that they are smaller than the males)

Wow.. Thats pretty small, that's so cool! Do you have breeding plans for the two eventually? Those would be some tiny babies, I imagine it would be an awesome experience to work with them

I'm hoping to have eggs some time soon, haven't seen any copulation yet. But yes, I have breeding plans, I need to make back some of the money I paid for these guys. Hopefully picking up another female this week, not sure if the seller wants to sell or not though.

Babies are very small. Here is a pic from Chris murrays recent ad.
