the water probably helped it from not attacking!!!

Re: My ATB
LOL I think the water just woke him up. He's never had a go at me, but i'm always extra careful with him......those teeth are getting big;)

Re: My ATB
Thanks, John. He's a cool dude. When he eats I can see his teeth pretty well and i'm not looking forward to taking a bite that's for sure. The day I bought him I carried him around the shop for over and hour and a half with no bites. He's a bit more defensive now that he is settled in to his new tank, but I honestly think he's more curious than he is aggressive. Never strikes at all.

Re: My ATB
He seems very happy, and very placid in his enclosure, so great job on tending him. I know that they get very huge teeth, he looks very healthy. How long is he?

Re: My ATB
Thanks, Neal. He's probably pushing the 3ft mark. He's always been a pretty decent eater, and i've always had him on a weekly schedule. I never wanted to over feed to avoid regurg and it seems like it has worked okay so far. If nothing else, he's pretty to look at and fun to watch cruise around at night.

Once a week is great for ATBs. You shouldn't have an issue at all, unless you feed them oversized prey.
He's a beautiful little dude, by the way! Is he a sexed male? :P

Re: My ATB
Thanks!Yeah he was sexed as male,(probed) but I didn't do it personally.
