Scout's Progression Thread

[Lolo]

Somebody said I had to do a progression thread with Scout, and I didn't even know what that meant - but now I do! So here's my boy, who still has a LOT of growing to do... he's a 2009 Aztec Reverse Okeetee, bred by Jeff @ The Turtle Farm.

The day I got him (10/13/09)

I didn't realize how tiny he'd be... need to get a smaller bowl!

Cute!! Awesome colours and pattern too! Looking forward to seeing this little guy grow!

 

[Lolo]

Thanks! I'm still in shock by how tiny he is, but I'm sure he'll be "huge" before I know it... unfortunately he's not showing interest in the first meal offering, although I had a feeling it was too soon (the breeder suggested I try).

 

[Lolo]

Never mind... I just checked on him, and the (f/t) pinkie mouse is gone.

 

[Lolo]

A few more pictures, following (2 days after) his first meal with me... and my first attempt at handling him. He was squirmy but friendly/curious, so I'm sure he will be a sweetie eventually.

The only problem with these snap-tite tubs... have to be careful when I open/close it!

So cute!!!!

 

[Lolo]

Thanks! Here are some more recent photos, including his second meal with me... he's a great eater (f/t pinkies), and seems like a sweetheart too.

Butt first! LOL

Very cute!

Love his bright colours and funky pattern, looks like a good eater too!

Scout's so cute! I love that he eats his pinkies butt first, the little rebel.

 

[RavenSpirit360]

Love his pattern

Some recent pictures, following Scout's first shed with me - a perfect one, nonetheless!

He's such a pig...

 

[Lolo]

It's been about a month - and two sheds - since my last posting, so here are some updated shots of Scout. He's growing fast now that I have him on the "Munson Plan" for feeding, and his color has changed a little... looking good, I think.

He's so handsome! C'mon orange! Fill in all nice and bright!

He's so handsome! C'mon orange! Fill in all nice and bright!

Thanks! So, will his white "background" turn all orange? Anyone have an adult picture of a similar snake?

 

[Lolo]

Is this really what he could look like?? http://www.cornsnakes.net/images/PhotoGallery/_okre019.JPG :eek1:

 

[Lolo]

Another month and shed later... he's still small but finally plumping up, especially around the head/neck, and his orange is spreading.

Tail is still pretty white... does that mean it will be nearly solid orange?

 

[Lolo]

Can't resist adding these...

 

[Lolo]

Scout is over 6 months old & 71g now, and filling out/up nicely! Here are some recent post-shed photos of my boy... oh, and sorry about the last photos being unavailable (I reorganized my photobucket albums).

He's *gorgeous*!!! Go, go ground color!
