Tapioca Progression Thread!

Hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂 Poor lil noodle

Maze does similar, even if I put her in the box with her new substrate and put a hide in there. 'This place is tiny I want OUT :c'.

That sweet lil snooter tho :'). It's good for you, Tappy, I promise!

Well Tappy survived his first cage cleaning and two days later, of course he poops. He atleast has the good sense to poop outside his hide and this marks the 4th occasion he's done the deed in the exact same spot (beside his warm hide). He officially has his poop corner!


Figured this would be a good time to share updated pics of his enclosure! *Don't mind the temps, the cage had been open for a while when I was setting everything back up*

I'm now using a UTH with the RHP so he now has two warm and cool hides. He has a total of 5 hides, two matching custom (Zelda) ones (main cool and warm) and two matching RBI hides plus a bonus half log that's half buried. Of all 5, the Zelda ones continue to be his favorites.

Now onto a little tour!

This is his 'top floor' which has one of his warm hides (RBI) underneath some substrate so it has a more cave like appearance. Someone apparently got a bunch of debris in their water dish already lol.

Bottom Zelda warm hide under one of his fake plants. The one he likes to poop beside/behind!

His favorite 'bridge' to slither under whenever he travels from point A to point B.

His cool side with his Zelda and RBI cool hides. His cool Zelda one has been his main favorite hide, but recently he's been using his warm Zelda one!

aaaand bonus photo of Tappy that I forgot to share! I believe this was 1 or two days before he shed for me.

Tappy must be spoiled living in that enclosure! I'm curious about it's dimensions because it looks like he has a lot of places to roam. Did it come w/ an RHP already installed or was that something you got afterwards?

Hehe he has been doing very well!

Currently he's only using half of his cage(Animal Platics T12 4x2x2), so the half he's using is 2x2x2

For the RHP I ordered from Pro Products and had Bob ship it to Animal Platics so they could install it for me:)

Ahhhh...I think this is the route I'll take once mine has outgrown his cage. Bob seems to know his stuff.

Cage goals right there lol :bow:

Sorry if its already been mentioned, but how'd you come up with his name?

Aw thank you!

Also glad you asked! I've always been a fan of food themed names and I'm a fiend for bubble tea! His coloration and markings reminded me of boba/tapioca pearls and other jellies put in bubble tea and the name just stuck! Originally I was considering calling him Ravio or Garrus (game characters lol)

I will forever marvel over how pretty his enclosure is! Thanks for the walkthrough! Out of curiosity, do you have any plans for when he outgrows his Zelda hides?

I've never heard of or even seen bubble tea, but I did look it up. His name fits!
