Today is feed day for Apollo so I have weighed and measured him. I'm amazed at how much he has grown since I got him in May.

This is when I first got him home. He was 17g and had been fed on a maintenance regime for the first year of his life.


Here he is today . Now 81g and being fed on a much better schedule. In the last month he's grown 10cm in length! He's now 70cm long (~27 1/2" for those of you who prefer that).

Crikey, what a change! Just shows how much they can catch up, when fed properly. 17 g at year old - and then getting to 81 in half a year! Developing some nice yellow, too :-)

Thanks for the nice comments I'm so relieved that his first year of life doesn't appear to have affected him in a negative way, hopefully he will grow normally now that he is being fed normally. He does seem to be trying to make up for lost time!
