Jimmy (for Lynnee)
He is currently, 252g and is 11cm long, as i said i am not sure of his exact age the the paperwork only says born in 2009 and he was down as an eastern at the shop rather than a western but looks a lot like a western, who knows may even be a hybrid, from what i have read he is rather big for his age even having been ill for a year and a half and not eating much. Anyway here is my gorgeous Jimmy...

Thanks everyone, lovely comments, i feel guilty that he is so large for his age but i have no idea why he would be though as i got him in the november of 2009 at which he weighed 24g, he has always been a fed a weed diet apart from the first winter i had him as there was a lot of snow in Germany so he did have supermarket bought greens untill weeds were growing again, and he has had constant respiratory infections from november 2010 up until about 6 months ago (therefore hadnt been eating much), he has grown a lot recently but i don't feel i am overfeeding him.

I think photos can make them look biggerthan what they really are.
Don't feel guilty, you have got him through alot of illness so you should feel proud of that

Thanks Lynnee, he still is big for his age, may be i do need to cut back on food, i can concentrate a lot more on this now his problem with lower respiratory infections has ended and i am definitely pleased with that as it felt like it was never going to end!
