José the '07 Normal Motley: A before/after retrospective

Suzy

Shazoooooo!
Some of you have seen José in previous threads of mine. I acquired him from a local herp shop June 7th of last year. At the time of purchase, he was 16" long and 12 grams in weight. As of his last measurements (3/13) he was 35" long and 160 grams. :)

Here's the before:

Aww! I'm looking at your dates and saying "okay I have to wait 9 months till my guy is that big! I can't wait!

I see both sides, but I want my little devil to slow down! :)

Very pretty though, thanks for sharing!
 
I bet you miss him been so little he was such a cutie, but i think hes just as nice now hes bigger. Nice beastie :)
 
I love normal motleys :). Your guy is growing fast! I miss my snakes and their baby stage, but if they were little again I would wish that they were big LOL.

Its amazing how much variability there is amongst normals. I have a normal mot boy who looks nothing like yours. My boy looks amel, but with dark eyes. But, my boy is also pos het amel and caramel, and I am betting he will prove het amel just by his looks.
 
I love the first pic baby geckos do that all the time when their mad and its the cutest thing in the world!! He is definitely really cute and growing fast.

Yeah, he's really cool. I don't regret picking him out of all of the choices I had. :D

Thanks! It's one of my favorites of him. I just happened to catch it at the right time. ;)

You know, I love Motleys in general, but the normals have an appeal about them. (although i'd love to get my paws on a hypo motley someday soon.) I'm the same way, too. LOL - I also have a Black Milk, and I can't wait until he's fully grown. I know when he is, i'm going to want him as a hatchling again.
I don't think i've seen yours before. Have you posted pictures of him on here? I'll have to look around. :) Mine is pos het anery & amel - i'm planning on getting either a snow or a proven het snow to prove José out. :) Even if he isn't het for Snow, i'll still love him the same. :)

I've never seen them do that before! I'd love to see pictures of that! LOL - I just happened to get a picture of him and the mouse at the same time. (he was eating rear end first, too. LOL) I can't believe how fast he started growing after being put on weanlings. It's insane!

Beautiful, and so sweet, Suzy. I wish they (mine) would grow just a little slower.

Thanks, Eric! Me too! (mine and yours! ;)) Although it's going to be nice when I don't have to thaw out numerous sizes of mice for my guys. It can be tedious sometimes. Then again, I shouldn't complain not having hundreds of snakes in my care. LOL
 
He's very nice! I look at him and wonder again why I don't have a normal motley.

Me too!! Happily, there is a solution. Have enough snakes around to have some in the baby stage, some juveniles, some adults... and be sure you have a staggered feeding schedule so there's always one to handle!
