update on Rook! Piccies of coarse!

Rook · 11-28-2007, 02:15 PM

my "little" guy aint so little anymore, I think by mid december he will have reached a foot in length. he is currently 11 1/4" and growing about an inch every 2 weeks or so

this this I actually got to see him shed! he usually does it while I am at work, but I was home sick so I was happy that I finally got to watch! is he still to young to tell his gender yet? I heard something about tail thickness compared to the body being used to sex them, is that true? if it is, then what is what, because there is a HUGE differnce in width between Rooks tail and his body lol

females tails get small quickly after the vent where as males it gradually gets smaller, and i have accurately sexed at around 12 inches

ok, I tried to get a pic lol, but his undersidew is so light and shiny that all I got was wash out. I picked the best one though and marked where his vent is and where his tail starts(although that pretty easy to tell without the mark lol)

lol ya he's an Albino. I love his colour too, in most pics I have seen of Albino Checkereds the colours are more faded, but Rooks gets more vivid with every shed, when I got him you had to look closly to tell he had any colour at all.

yea I remember it will be fun to see him progress as he gets older . just lovely!!
bye

kinda hard to tell to tell from the pics i would say female but we would really need a better pic to know for sure

Rook · 11-28-2007, 04:41 PM

ok, I will keep playing with the setting and trying to avoive the washout, unfortinatly my camera is about useless without the flash, so that just makes it harder.
