So my little baby Kyoshi has been with me since 'round the end of March, and I estimate he's probably about six months old. He's had four sheds while in my care, one of which was kind of rough but we were going through a heat/dry spell and his tank humidity had dropped, and he got all the bits of skin off, it was just chunky.
...and speaking on chunky, boy he sure seems to be, which is why I'm posting today. Right now he weighs 30g and is roughly 22inches long. He is visibly quite pudgy:

Very stout.

His fatness is most apparent near his vent, as you can see in this photo. The 'taper' area is very sudden, and in comparison his little tail area is so thin!
The photos are just a little exaggerated because right after I took the tail end / vent picture he had a huge poop on me, but comparing it's still pretty close.
Right now he's on a fuzzy every week, and we just moved him up - previously he was on two pinkies a week, and he was digesting those in like 15 hours and was out hunting more as early as the next morning with no food bump even when feeling around. He's pooping like a champ and he's never regurged, should I just keep him on the same schedule and not worry so much about this? I take him out daily - sometimes more than once a day - for at least half an hour at a time and let him crawl around and explore my desk or just sit with me while I do my online work. He's pretty dang active, though.
