Am i feeding enough?

My lad is currently about 16 months and on a small mouse every 8 days. He had gone through a skinny stage where he put length on but recently seems to have put a lot of weight on. I've included his weight/length graph in images. He's sitting at 130g at the moment. Last previous measurements were 106g and 84cm on 24/07. He constantly searches for food, pops his head out whenever im nearby. Am I feeding too much or not enough?

Changing to married name and HCPC reg?

Im just married, Id like to change my name but im a HCPC reg and I feel that would be a nightmare to do. I would also enjoy the separation of work name vs my personal life due to the area of the NHS Scot that i work in. Both my first name and maiden name are very unusual but new surname fairly common in this area. Im also planning to buy my house but in my name only, not my husband. I would use my married name as an assumed name.

Does changing my name affect anything and is it worth changing everything in terms of banking, bills, insurance, professional registrations etc? Can I have both?

Crucifix cleaning and restoration

I have gotten this vintage rosewood crucifix with what I think is a brass Jesus figure. The tops of the crucifix is black but the underside and back isn't. The figure is also tarnished.

I have brasso cloth and a beeswax polish but dunno if this is safe to use.

Any advice?

Senior boy breathing harshly?

Pod is about 12 now and gets out of puff a lot. He breathes like he smokes two packs a day. When at rest or not too out of breath hes fine and not noisy. Its a bit hard to hear on the video. Is this a normal part of aging? Or am I to be on the doggy Salbutamol and nebulisers soon? As an asthmatic myself I sympathise with the old boy.

(As a side note, he's walked on a collar now as he has a few fatty lumps where the harness sits which makes it uncomfortable. He never pulls on the lead or flexi lead and is a good boy.)

update Took him to the vets and he's come away with a probable left sided heart disease. It probably not gonna be possible to get bloods or in depth scans as he's a nightmare. She may sedate him in a few months to get bloods but at the moment we dont need to. Now we get to try and get a diuretic tablet into him twice a day 😅 He didn't try to bite the vet though, no screeching and he didn't wee on anything or anyone! That plus being able to make him more comfortable with medication is a big success 🙌

Weird monster claw?

My greyhound has had this weird monster claw on her front foot for quite some time, about 6 months maybe. The vet has seen it twice so far and has no idea what it is. It has a full blood supply and seems like excess keratin bits outside it. Its difficult to tell if it hurts her as shes arthritic in that elbow and won't show signs of pain. She doesnt seem overly fussed byt fur colour says she licks at it. Then again, she licks at bloomin everything. Last year a rear foot claw did seem to die off and had an infection with no quick. That is now recovering

Has anyone seen this before?

Is my boy growing normally?

Sev is freshly shed and getting to be a big lad now. Eating a small mouse every 8 days. He's seemed to grow a touch slower than my previous snakes, hes around 15 months, around 77cm and 86g. Is this on par with others?
