Thanks! I'm sure trying to do best by him.
He's extremely curious! I love watching him explore, I can't believe how comfortable he is around me already! I've only ever seen him run once, the second day I had him when I came after him in his enclosure. He never runs, or even tries to get away from me anymore, I can just let him roam around my apartment as long as I watch him so he doesn't get anywhere he shouldn't be. He just lazely lumbers around checking everything out.
He was pretty pissed this morning when I dug him up so I could work on his enclosure though, got a good open mouth, hissing tail whip for that one haha. I let him bask for a bit and he mellowed out... He's got so much personality it's amazing!

A funny Kimo hard at work on his "mound"

And his burrow, kind of hard to see, it starts in the back corner of his enclosure
There's a second entrance in his log, the main part of the burrow is in between the log and the plywood

Such a funny lizard... apparently he wants a mound there!
It's about 7-8" high, and he's currently sleeping in it. He pushed around all the mulch on top of the plywood to make the mound.

Not much growth in the last month, Kimo's at only about 15.25".
And Kimo showing little to no interest in his first pinky... haha

That's what I thought as well, seems to have gained a little girth, although he only gained 3/8" in length.
He didn't take the fuzzy, but gladly took the turkey I gave him... He's still a picky little eater, but I'm sure that will change as he matures.

Another month has gone as well as another inch, he's now 16 1/4" snout to tip.
Don't you hate it when you mess up those good shots!

Yes, as you can see in the first post, he was born Aug 18th, 2010. He's been in a very long "slow down", probably close to 5-6 months of low activity. He's small for his age, but understandable with how long he's been relatively inactive. Expecting a huge spurt this summer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Little update on Kimo's enclosure, upgraded his basking spot to a large plate rock. Arranged it so he has a nice little crack to hide in under the rock as well.
