I really don't think posting 4-5 pics is enough. I need to see like, 20. Please

Thanks everyone. Mike, I know what you mean about the color changes. At first, when I was only looking at pictures, I had a really strong preference for the lighter color. But now, after seeing it in real life, I am loving the darker colors more and more. He gets this golden-ish cast down the last third of his body, it's so pretty. And I like how the freckles seem to show up more. I hope you post some pictures of your girl too, I would love to see them!!

Here are some pictures from this morning. Though I find since his last molt he is not getting as dark during the day as he was when I first got him. Did you notice the same with your girl?

Here are some pictures from this morning. I love his face when he's darker,

He has some pretty eyes. Baby snakes are way too cute. I need to stop looking at pictures before I acquire another snake or 50. I told myself ONLY one and I'm sticking to it!

Here's a pic that I thought was cute, a new way to weigh the snake (for now at least, until he gets too big).

He was starting to outgrow his weight tub and was getting a little antsy when placed inside, so I guess this will do for now until I need a bigger scale. It's my parrot's weight perch.

Here he is, lol.

Again some sweet pics!!

So, my boy shed on Saturday, so I decided to take some more pictures of him. We went outside for a bit today and I got these shots. He has doubled in weight since the last pictures and he just keeps getting prettier with every shed. These last two sheds he has just exploded with pinks and orange compared to how brown he was when I got him. Doesn't show up so well on pics though.





There's this orange spot that showed up two sheds again and just keeps getting brighter (much cooler in person). Call it his beauty mark, lol.



And finally, a picture of his tail. It was pretty much brown up until this molt. Now it looks like a peachy colour. I was surprised.



I love this guy, can't wait to see what colours may come out after next molt.

Just got some pictures of him in his darker phase, just adding them here to keep them together.

Wow he is growing so much, so fast. I love him... He really is beautiful. Thanks for all the pics... I love frequenting this thread. Makes me want a hog more and more...

[hylia]

Thanks guys!

Alessia, I know I was surprised when I weighed him to see that he had doubled. I didn't realise how much he grew until I looked through all the pics here. I can't believe that he used to fit in the palm of my hand.
