[UPDATE] Introducing Oliver (James Wilson 2013 Baby)!

[WiFiber]

Hey gang,

I wanted to introduce my new Bluey, Oliver!
Although he wasn't as perfectly striped as his siblings, his aberrance was something that really drew me to him.
I purchased him from James about three weeks ago. And since then, he has grown tremendously.

[UPDATE]: I have added more photos of him about a month older. Right down in the comment section!

Here he is:

At several weeks old (before I got him):



As of today:




Disregard the writing on the stone.






Due to my being a College student, I obviously don't have a huge budget. After purchasing this 5'x2'x2' enclosure for a decent price, I used fake ivy and ferns from a dollar store to spice it up. Furthermore, I split the substrate half Aspen and half Eco-Earth (since I ran out of Aspen).

Let me know what y'all think!




And finally one more picture of him for the night! :-)

He's completely adorable What a cutie.

I happen to be a big fan of babies who have broken and unique banding <3

[James Wilson]

Awesome. I love the photos! He looks like he is doing great.

cage looks great,as does its inhabitant,i also a fan of broken odd banding,he/her is a fine example of his species,congrats

It's uneven stripey look makes me think that he has been buttoned up all wrong, but that's so endearing in blueys. That's a gorgeous little baby!

[WiFiber]

And he's a voracious eater! I cannot wait to see what he'll look like a year from now. Heck, I can't even wait until the next shed!

[Alicia P]

Aww, great pic's & I love your setup!!

[LizardLady46]

congrats. Oliver is a cutey. Jame's babies are really great. My Naxos is from his 2012 litter and he is a wonderful pet

[Merriann]

Great pics of a cute baby! I bet he loves all the hiding places in those plants!

[WiFiber]

Andddd one more for the road.

[Lea]

I love that photo! James Wilson really does produce some wonderful babies and this one is no exception. He really has a lovely look about him.

[Coomassie]

Congrats! He looks great. Keep up the good work.

Just thought I'd update you all on him about a month later.

He is now 145 grams and approximately 11" long.

This is him two days ago with a bunch of shed still left on his head; his body was almost done. Egg time!



The rest are of him this morning, after his complete shedding. Grape time!



Aerial profile!



A not-so-excellent quality photo of his banding and contrast.



Handsome side-profile!





How does he look so far?

I also had a question, when should I expect him to reach full size? I feed him once every to every other day and sprinkle calcium on every second feeding.

Thank y'all and enjoy!

[Richard.C]

looking great,going to be a nice looking adult i reckon,they can reach adult size by 12 months if power fed but 18 to 24 months is usually when they fill out to on a more moderate feeding schedule

looking at your ones tummy looks like it likes its tucker so will likely be sizable as a yearling
