10 years young

[Jeremy Letkey]

This is my pal Cheeto. He is now 10 years old. I haven't post pics of him in awhile so here he is. Semi-retired and staying in great shape.

Does that say 123g?! That handsome guy doesn't look a day over 9!

Exactly what I was thinking. How long is he? He doesn't seem that chunky for 123 g.

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

Yes, he's 123g. He is about 12'' long from head to tail. :main_yes:

 

[GeckoMandi]

What a chubby boy! I hope I keep mine that long and even longer!

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Lol That is nuts... I hope mine gets that big.

 

[LadyGecko]

Man-if he could talk the tales that he could tell-lol

Very nice Jeremy! I have a 9-10 year old myself. He's about 105grams right now. He's even actively breeding! I'm very proud of him.

Hes awesome Jeremy! He must have cost you like 500 dollars way back when!

 

[BluGnat]

Very handsome middle-aged boy!

 

[moosassah]

Happy Birthday big boy! You're awfully cute for 10!

 

[PaulSage]

Ooooh, he's got volume and long-lasting color, just like the high quality hair dye!

He's perfect !! Awesome job Jeremy. Have you noticed a slight size increase each year or was there a point where he kinda maxed out ?

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

Thanks everyone. Dan he has continued to grow while in my care. He has however been large since I got him about 2 1/2 years ago. He was about 85g when he arrived here. He looked like he had a busy breeding season. I rested him and got him feeding on supers. He was purchased by Kevin and Sue Hanley (albinogecko.com) from Bill Brant back in 1997. It was a major purchase as Kevin put it. I don't remember the exact amount he paid but I think it was about $500. When Kevin and Sue decided to no longer work with reptiles he had a short stay with Jodi Aherns. Now he will live out his days here. Luckily enough I had both Bill and Kevin at my booth at Tinley Park to confirm, they both were reminiscing over him. I had taken him with to the show with thoughts of selling him... I couldn't bring myself to put him on the table. I will make sure that he always has a bowl of supers here.
