Video of Sheron begging for food haha








Heres an interesting behavior i came across, so morays regularly shed teeth but its not often you actually get to see it. Here he is with a loose tooth and he even uses the wavemakers to help blow them off!

Over a year of growth with Shenron, from about 22in to over 30in and he definitely fattened up alot. Top picture is him still at the store, bottom picture is from today. He's asking me everyday when the new tank will be ready lol

The video of him trying to remove that loose tooth using the powerhead is the funniest thing I've seen all day. It reminded me of when my dad tied my loose tooth to a door to pull it out.

How long is Shenron supposed to get? And does he recognize you specifically or does he beg anyone that walks by?

Haha i love that video too! Max size is typically about 36in. So hes almost done growing. Im pretty much the only one thats around the tank since its in my bedroom, but when hes hungry hes always out and about so id imagine hed come out for anyone that walked by.

You’d be surprised , I’m sure he recognizes that swimming around usually brings food if yr present. I had a cobra that didn’t like any women for some reason lol she would always watch with her hood out when I had ladies over. But if it was guys / just me she would still stare but be relaxed and wouldn’t mind being held / not territorial

Awww! He's almost an adult now :<
I bet Shenron will always be your baby though.
