    What I've learned (4 months in)

    I've had my 5 months old male BP for 4 months now. Just a few things I found interesting:

    - Urates smell much worse than the poop. Complete opposite of my geckos
    - Not defensive at all, settled down ASAP, good handling....feeding response through the roof
    - Only once when I fed him he shook his tail, it was adorable
    - Do they always go to the bathroom right after you clean?
    - He rather drink the water that accumulates on the side of the tub then drink from his water bowl
    - He sheds every 7-8 weeks (I thought babies were much more frequent?!)
    - Clumsy. He likes to climb, he just really awful at it.
    - He sleeps like me; dead to the world....it actually looks like he's playing dead. Scared me the first time I saw it, tbh.

    it's like the only time they want attention.
