Obi 347th day update (with pics)!

Postby Noah H. » Sun Jun 21, 2015 3:17 pm

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last posted, so I thought I'd share an update on Obi with you:

Obi is just 2 1/2 weeks shy of being 1 year old! Unfortunately, I'm gonna be out of town on his birthday, so that's why I'm posting now. He is now about 15 in (38 cm) long; I don't have a way to measure his weight, so I haven't been keeping track of that. He's made excellent progress from being a general scaredy-cat to an energetic, curious (and occasionally grumpy) little guy.

Obi still lives in his original 40 gal. breeder. I'd like to get something roomier once I have the space, but for now, I make sure to give him some outdoor time to explore and stretch his legs.

I've got a pretty spacious, fenced in backyard, perfect for adventures!

Someone thought he could sneak off unnoticed.

I took these next few pictures after Obi shed. You'll notice a dark patch on his head; those are just unshed head scales. They came off the next day.
Image


I love how his coloring turned out!

Obi gets to hang out indoors too!
Image


I think he enjoys watching tv with me.

That's all for now. I'll make sure to keep you guys updated on all of Obi's happenings. Bye!

Hey nice young Northern! Does he run when he is outside exploring? I have to track down my bts when he is outside exploring!

It seems to me that Northerns enjoy to chill out while Meraukes want to explore. What do you all think?

I don't usually have a problem with him trying to run away. Even if he did try to escape, it's a long way to the fence.

Oh my gosh, the picture of him by the tree, it looks like he's lifting his leg like a dog!!
