update on Rook! Piccies of coarse!

[Rook]

my "little" guy aint so little anymore, I think by mid december he will have reached a foot in length. he is currently 11 1/4" and growing about an inch every 2 weeks or so this this I actually got to see him shed! he usually does it while I am at work, but I was home sick so I was happy that I finally got to watch! is he still to young to tell his gender yet? I heard something about tail thickness compared to the body being used to sex them, is that true? if it is, then what is what, because there is a HUGE differnce in width between Rooks tail and his body lol

females tails get small quickly after the vent where as males it gradually gets smaller, and i have accurately sexed at around 12 inches

ok, I tried to get a pic lol, but his undersidew is so light and shiny that all I got was wash out. I picked the best one though and marked where his vent is and where his tail starts(although that pretty easy to tell without the mark lol)

lol ya he's an Albino. I love his colour too, in most pics I have seen of Albino Checkereds the colours are more faded, but Rooks gets more vivid with every shed, when I got him you had to look closly to tell he had any colour at all.

yea I remember it will be fun to see him progress as he gets older . just lovely!!

kinda hard to tell to tell from the pics i would say female but we would really need a better pic to know for sure

[Rook]

ok, I will keep playing with the setting and trying to avoive the washout, unfortinatly my camera is about useless without the flash, so that just makes it harder.

Wow Shayna, he really is growing! It's so fun to watch him grow up with you. :-)
