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.
