Progression thread for Naga

Today I have taken some pictures of Naga, and I though I will be starting a new progression thread with pics for a supposed candy cane (CB '14) that has turned a somewhat pale amel. I got him last November from a reputable breeder from Barcelona. It was some of the last specimens of the 2014 clutches he still had left.
I'll make a rather large first post with some pictures I have of him since I got him home, and then continue with this from now on.

This is when I just arrived home with him, last November.

A feeding on a pinky, when he was so small. He looks like a worm there, compared to now.

Some pics from early this year. Some size variation is noticeable :p

And lastly, some I have taken tonight, a while ago. It was quite difficult, he was in the mood of "running" today.

I'll be posting more pics in here as Naga grows more and more :)
 
Thank you very much.
He's developing some yellow lately. He's my first snake and reptile so I'm very curious how he will turn out.
 
A couple of days ago Naga shed, and I've been waiting digestion time to take some pics of him and update the thread a bit.
He's now 1 year old, 69 cm and 77 gr.

Today he's been really uncooperative, so I only got 2 pics right but at pretty bad quality. I'll try take some at daytime for better colors.
Here's this one from today at noon. He stared at me like that for like 30 mins.

Today I had a full viv cleanup, and I took some pics of Naga before putting him in again. Today he even posed! No movement at all. Here's my good boy.

I've also discovered by looking at the breeder's page that the scale he is missing on his head has been genetically transmitted. One of his parents also has it!
 
He's beautiful. His color is really stunning. Those are great pictures. So nice when they cooperate! It's good to know that missing scale is not an injury or something worse. Now it's just something that makes him extra special.
 
Thank you!! His Candycane heritage sure has its effect on his color.
Naga usually doesn't collaborate. He never stops exploring, so today was great.

He's always had that bald spot on the head. At first I was scared since I thought he had had a bad shed and had torn it or that I had injuried him, but it's just his face.
 
Posting a mini update for Naga. No pics today, but I just want to say that he will be moving to hoppers next week.
He's 13 months old and I guess he'll be around 80-85gr now (have to weigh and measure him today).
I have heard from many that fuzzy to hopper size bump up is the one that causes more feeding problems or regurges due to the size change, so I hope everything goes smoothly.
The shop where I get feeders only lists "adult" mouse and I'll have to indicate the owner what size I want on the phone, so I hope I get manageable sizes that I can work up with.
Again, first snake owner paranoia never ends :p
 
Thank you. At some point I thought he would start to drink and be able to record those cute snake cheeks, but no luck! :(
 
Yeah. They sure don't perform on command, but that's part of why we love them! The drinking is one of the cutest things in the entire world.
 
Short update.
After feeding 2 big fuzzies to Naga for the last few weeks he's put up weight nicely again and is currently at 98 gr (have not measured him yet). He's started dulling this night and will enter blue soon. I'll post pics when he sheds.
This time I've not had problems with the shop and feeder size, so I have mice from 13 to 21 gr, so Naga will be moving up to hoppers-weanlings when he sheds.
I hope he can handle them OK and get chubby.
