Less than two months since I got him, but I managed to catch a couple nice pics of Argento on the kitchen floor while I was taking a picture to measure him. I didn't really think he'd have grown in this short amount of time and I was right. Still 25".
Right now Argento is in the feeding tub with a mouse. He doesn't look too interested even though he hasn't eaten in a week. 'course it is winter, so maybe that's it. He's put on about 24g of weight in the time I've had him. Seems like a lot to me, but then I'm still relatively new to snakes (3.5 years in this hobby, most of that time with just one snake) and he is a hatchling. Anyway, it's not as if I'm overfeeding him and he doesn't look fat, so I'm taking that as a good sign.
Here's the pic I used to measure him.
Even with the tile as a frame of reference, he looks huge.
Those eyes are the real reason for his name.
Plus two tongue shots! :dancer:

. There's a good reason right off the top, not to mention your membership dollars help to support this fantastic site.
