Spike is now (we think) six years old. we got him 2 years ago and he was fully grown and the owner didnt know how old he was. we took him to the vet to get him checked up on and they said he was neglected at the preious owner. They had him in a 13 gal. tank and gave him 20 crix every two weeks. they never fed him greens and they didnt take out the crix. and the vet said that she though he was about four years old. we call the day we got him his b-day. so, happy birthday spikers! Too bad he is in a shed
