    He loves geckos...

    Today my now known new pick up ate his first dinner in my place, a house gecko.
    And to see the snake stalk the gecko was awesome, it is so fast, rogers racer fits perfect.
    I was extremly happy to see this guy munching the gecko away, since he refused mouse pinks the first two times...

    Awesome, it always feels good when your pet eats, it makes you feel relaxed as well.

    Re: He loves geckos...

    Just an update on this little guy, now identified as a Platyceps rogersi, a racer species from egypt.
    Now he is willing to eat two f/t pinkies with split heads every five days, which is a HUGE delight for me, because the supply of feeder geckos was quite slim.
    He is a very alert and active snake, always checking me out when I come close to his little habitat, I really like him, he also calmed down alot lot and is not trying to eat my face every time I open the tub (an quite funny attempt by him, measuring less than two feet....)

    Re: He loves geckos...

    Just wanted to update, this lil beast is still with me, because i see so many open end new and exotic pet stories here!
    Meanwhile (since last year) he took a two week vacation out of his cage, exploring my sweet flat, but I got him one night, when he slithered through my living room.
    Still picky on the catering side, sometimes pinks, sometimes nada, last night the tail and a leg of of a passed away and deep frozen leo.
    But I love this lil egypt rascal...

    That's a cool looking snake! Hope he gets less picky for you, as I imagine it's difficult (and expensive) to feed a lizard diet...
