How big is your Syrian and how old is he/she?
My Biscuits has grown a lot since the pictures taken in my signature, then he was about 4 - 4 1/2 inches long. Now he's about 6 - 6 1/2 inches long. I don't know exactly, he won't stay still long enough!
I remember when I first got him, I could put him in my hands and close them all the way around him. Not now!
Do all young Syrains grow this fast? It's as if he's in "puberty".
I got him February 17, so I figure that he's about a little over 2 - 2 1/2 months old? (Aren't they about a month old when they are put into pet stores?)
