 Calisto Xanthus

I’ve never done a thread on my leo Calisto Xanthus. So, I think it’s time to show him off and show progress of how he’s grown. I’ve only had him for about two months now, but I’d say he’s about 8months old just guessing by his size of when he was purchased. Even though, he isn’t the bigges(yet), he’s definately my biggest eater. He’ll eat 3-4 superworms everday if I fed him that much, I try to just give him that amount every other day, but he’ll just look at me and beg all the time, so I can’t help myself sometimes. His morph is Hypo Tangerine Carrot-tail(not sure if he’s a super, or not). Anyways, I’m sure you guy don’t wanna keep reading, time for the pix!..

Here’s him when I first took him home at about 6.3"



...and here are pictures I took just last night at a nice plump 7.6"[June 23, ’07]

oh, and i forgot to mentions that Calisto Xanthus are greek names. Calisto means "Most Beautiful" and Xanthus means "Yellow". So, basically he’s the Most Beautiful Yellow ;-)

also, do you guys think he’s a SuperHTCT or just a HTCT??

I love the pic with his leg stretched out !!! beautiful leo

I don’t believe he is a super because he has some spots on his body

not at all, you’re thinking of waxworms. superworms can be used as a staple just like crickets and mealies, but i wouldn’t reccomend them for any leos under 6months. they have more meat, but less chittin(the outter shell). just stay away from giant mealies though, they’re all steroided out and have a lot of chittin on them, a lot.
