    Igbo update

    Well it seems our little fellow will is doing just fine. Today instead of contemplating his food, he struck at it so fast we didn't even blink. Then we were like, woah. Second mouse was offered and bam, snatched it right out of my tongs as soon as I got it in the tub. His previous meals took him a good couple minutes before he would slowly take interest. We got a good measure of his length, 23 inches. Still no weight on him yet, haven't got the scale. Been meaning to, and I am kicking myself in the butt for that, it wold be nice to see where he is weight wise from when we got him. He is still on the thin side, but not so sickly looking. I am very pleased and proud new owner.

    Temps and humidity is good. Still just using the dimmer so I am checking it all day long, but seems to be working with a tweak here in there. We are thinking about going the tub route. Now that I feel he well and adjusted we will start getting the supplies ready for a pernament housing. Love all the options we have found on here. He sure seems to be thriving now. Curious and docile until feeding time today. It was kind of fun to see him get a bit more active.

    It's been a fun ride, and feels pretty good to see how far he has come in a short time.
