Cloud pics

Postby Nova » Wed Oct 12, 2011 1:56 pm

Hello, I'm Nova, and I think I've been a lurker on this forum for far too long!

Cloud is my Northern BTS, James Wilson's "Baby F", born June 26th.
Cloud is my pride and joy, and I've been trying to keep track of him as he grows. So, here are his pics. :)

July 25th, 2011
Image
Not long after I got him, this was before his second shed, a day before his first month of life.

July 31st, 2011
Image
This was right after his second shed; pic was taken inside so it doesn't show off him off well.

August 7th, 2011
Image
Still a teeny little guy :) Outside pic; no flash.

August 15th, 2011

Image
The day after his 3rd shed.

August 16th, 2011
Image
I may have gone overboard with pics... :oops:

September 3rd, 2011
Image
Lost my camera, so there is a gap. Cloud's pretty colors.

September 7th, 2011:

Showing off his side markings and long-ness.

Image
He was posing for me :lol:

Image
Cloud being artistic ~

Image
And then he got tired of everyone fawning over how cute he is.

Now, that was September, and now that I've finally found my camera's battery charger...
Image
This was him today as he was eating. He's staring intently at some foods that got stuck to his nose. He's close to shed, so he's been grumpy lately. And yes, his favorite hide is a Cheez-it box, since he no longer fits in his rock hide. XD (He's about 15.5 inches long now :shock:) But don't worry, it's the ~limited edition~ Cheez-it box, so he still sleeps in style.

I'll leave you guys with a grumpy mouth-licking face;

Enjoy!

THAT is a gorgeous northern! Not surprising that it was produced by James. I hope you realize how lucky you are to have a baby from one of the most knowlegeable and concientious bts breeders of all time. He is also a really great guy. Just don't tell him I said that. 8)

He's beautiful! 15.5 inches? He's huge in comparison to my girl. She was born on July 10th, but is only 9.75 inches long.

Looks like he is doing great, and growing very well. He was actually one of the smaller babies in the litter. That being said, his color and pattern made him one of my top picks for my holdback. In fact, he was for a while until I changed my mind and decided to keep only one. I too really enjoy the photographic timeline sequence as I really appreciate seeing the progress that they make over time (especially when it is one of my babies). It really helps me in my breeding efforts. Nice skink, nice work, and great post. Thank you.

Thanks, all! :) He shed last night so now I have even more pics. XD Though in person he is even brighter, and the "blur" on his tail is very pretty.

Jeff, yes James is awesome!
ILoveMyMonsters, hehe, he got daily feedings until 3 months of age. >_< I just measured him and he's grown even more o_O
Image
Looks like he's past 16 inches now. :shock: :shock:

James, thanks! I was shocked when I noticed you'd put my favorite of yours up for sale. You should update us on that holdback :3

Awesome. He is HUGE!!! My one and only holdback (I call him/her Boomerang) is currently in shed, and not near as big as your little monster. I will take photos as soon as he/she sheds.

PS, do not listen to Jeff, he knows skinks, but he is a poor judge of character when it comes to humans.
