He was out and about today and I was made to realize our house has long since lost it's ig-proofness... . I have a lot of picking up to do today. I let him out so I could clean his enclosure, had already filled the tub so he could climb in when he was ready. 10 minutes later I hear him splashing in the tub. 15 minutes later I hear the unmistakable slide of him hoisting onto the back of the couch where the sun was coming through the windows. He's been pissy for 2 weeks now. Delayed breeding season? Possibly. He's more orange than he's been all year. The first picture is him standing as tall as he can trying to be intimidating. He yawned for me...and then while holding him I thought I catch a shot of his manly jowls from down under. The last one Zair just thought he would stop on dh's knee...which had me worried since Zair is being pissy. I had to walk backwards and not look at Z so I could get some kind of shot of the visitation - then move him off. He's back in the enclosure now and everyone's safe from the green machine again... .

Oh my word he is absolutely huge! How much does he weight? He looks like a heavy fella. Eki tries to do this to me, that's when I just start petting him and doing this clicking noise with my tongue that I've done since he was a baby and he calms down. hehe.
But your guy is so handsome!

I need to get him to the vet to weigh him. I use their dog scale since it's long enough to take his whole body. we don't have floor scales at our house. Only kitchen scales up to 5 lbs for the smaller animals.

Awsome pics...Sancho does the stance to me at any given time lately. Although he's not as big as Zair mind you but he's still pretty darn intimidating. My sister witness his "tude" the other day and was all wide eyed shocked that I dealt with it on a regular basis. lol Its funny how they go from terror to sucky baby who wants all the attention. lol

Those are great photos! Have you measured him recently? Those photos are impressive. Zair was showing off in that first photo for sure!

He's as long as he's going to get. At 10 yrs old he'll just add bulk. Last time measured (about fall) he was about 15" svl - 49" stl w/4" of tail missing. I'm going to try to get him weighed this weekend if the weather is over 65.

wow hun he's gorgeous! i hope ben fills out that nicely. and ben does the crab walk at an orange cat we have because the cat sits outside of his enclosure and just stares at him... its funny to see the cat get a look of horror when i let ben out... he'll sneak up on the cat while he's sleeping and just site there in that "this is my house" pose... he stayed for like 2 minutes once... when the cat wakes up and goes wide eyed with terror, ben hisses at him like he just noticed the cat was there...... *rolls my eyes* its funny though
