Received this Mack Snow Giant from VMS Herp on January 31st of this year.
Born on 7-27-07

First weigh in on 1-31: 40 grams

Here's a pic of him before @ 40 grams

And Today, 4-07: 84 grams, So he gained 44 grams in about 2 1/2 months, pretty incredible.

VMS feed crickets - do you feed mealies? May have something to do with. And awesome care, of course. ;)

He carries it pretty well. He looks like she can go a lot higher than 84!

Thank you all. His growth has definitely amazed me and he's QUITE the eater.
I feed him every other day, and within a 15 minute interval he wolfs down 10 superworms (large sized). I've been trying to limit his intake, but if I stop him short he gets angry. He's treated like quite the king, along with the rest of my children, I mean, geckos. ;)

(Sidenote: I've been absent from these forums for awhile because I've been in and out of the hospital. I'll be going in for major sugery at the end of this month, so I might be absent again. Don't worry, I've got a babysitter to take care of my babies)

Well I'm back on the forums again and I'm happy to report that my surgery was a success!

Anyways, I'd like to give an update on my Mack Snow Giant, he now tips the scales at 108 grams. It still looks like he can gain a few more grams because his tail is still a bit thin even at this weight. I'm so proud of him because I don't see that many "Big Macks" around. ;)

Pictures will follow as soon as I get my new digital camera after Christmas. :D

Glad to hear that your surgery went well!!

Great size for your Mack Snow Giant! One of our Giants grew over 20 grams in a month, and we were very excited to say the least! We're still waiting to see how much he grows, he's only at 60 grams right now. They're definitely an awesome morph to have :)

Here's the updated picture I promised, all 108 grams of him. I love this guy, he's so calm and actually enjoys being held.

Sorry to go off topic of this thread, but where did you get that scale?
Are they cheap?
It looks very nice, and electronic is great too!

Hey Wreptile, I bought the scale at Wal-Mart, it was cheap, like 10 bucks I think? It's a bit difficult to find, it's in the housewares/cooking supply section where the measuring cups and stuff are.

Thanks!
I'll probably check it out tomorrow.
