Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while, but I finally decided I wanted to show off my baby Northern bluey, named Reptar. He was born on 6/3/12, and I received him on 8/15/12. When I got him he was 44 grams and 7.5 inches, and now he is a whopping 81g and 9.6 inches! I've been feeding him Halo Spot's Stew canned food (alternating dog and cat, and chicken and beef flavors), along with various veggies and greens. I'm trying to rotate as much of his foods as possible, and I've been supplementing using Repashy ICB and Exoterra Calcium + Vitamin D. I've been feeding him small amounts daily since he was under 3 months old, but now he will be switched to feedings every other day.
He's currently housed in a 20L aquarium, but will be upgraded as soon as possible (within the next month most likely). Lighting is an Exoterra 100w basking spot lamp, to keep his warm side at about 97-103°F depending on the ambient room temp, and a Reptisun 10.0 UVB bulb. His setup is fairly plain at the moment, as I wanted to make sure I could keep an eye on his bowel movements since he was new. The yellow box in the picture is a shoebox full of carefresh which he likes to go to sleep in every night.
