So far, Jinx has shown a love for good dog food, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bananas as treats. I measured her recently and she was 21 inches long... I haven't been able to weight her yet.

I tried, but I couldn't get it reduced down small enough to be my avatar. I kept reducing and reducing, but I couldn't seem to get it from the high resolution I took the picture at down to small enough for an avatar.

One thing that might help is saving to a different format. GIFs are generally smaller file sizes than JPGs or PNGs.

I gotta ask, where was this picture taken? It looks like a REALLY cool shop of some kind, but I would love to know the story. I love places like this.

Jinx

Postby codycr6 » Thu Nov 03, 2011 8:17 pm

That was a friend's pawn shop in Atlanta. He deals quite a bit in vintage home audio and such, and I try to hang out with him a bit when I am working in the area. One of his employees asked me to bring her in one day.

size?

Postby codycr6 » Fri Nov 11, 2011 6:38 pm

Sooo, Jinx had her first vet visit for a general checkup. Mainly just to get a record of her at the vet, and get her weight. She was 862 grams, and as previously stated, she is 21 inches long. Since I don't know when she was born, is there any way to even guess her age? The vendor I bought her from said she was only about 6 months old, which would put her at 7 1/2 months now. I know my beardies grew fast, but would a BTS really be this large this young?
