He's got some nice new growth there Maz.

how sweet is s/he
i'll try getting you some pics of that leo down here that needs rescuing, if your interested in her, i will go get her and you can come down for the weekend

Hes looking really nice Maz. Love the last picture where you are holding him. He seems to be looking at you as if to say i won't smile until you give me so dinner. Hes coming on great.

to me, they look like they pointing out more then they used to, but i cant find the old pic, ive deleted it from photobucket

Maz are you on about his shell pyramiding. I have never seen a smooth leo yet. Even in the wild they are not smooth. I think you are doing a really good job with him.

no the ones round his tail, you know the pics terry posted and they cruve towards each other if a boy

Leos are rarely grown smooth. Another thing that is a bit of a falsey is that when people say the shells grow smoother with age it'd not necessarily so. The new growth typically follows the line of the old growth, so carrying on the pyramid if it is very noticeable. So long as it is not getting flatter and the dome is still progressing I would not worry too much. A sign of too much new growth in leos too is a lot of white growth, this usually signifies they need to slow down a bit
