Lol nope :D I think i got lucky with my first GTP(knock on wood). Pat seems to be settled in and has ramped up his feeding drive by about 100%. Today was his 4th feeding and i almost got bit by the little bugger. He was sleeping in his favorite little plant. So i held the little fuzzy mouse around the front of his face outside of the plant. He didnt respond so i touched it to a spot on him i found. He moved and buried his head. So then i went to rub him with a Q-Tip thinking he might be asleep. Well yup he was asleep but he woke up when he smelled the mouse and came flying out of the plant about an inch from grabbing my hand lol. He then hung there coiled and ready. I picked up his little mouse on the forceps and before i even got it to him, he lashed out and grabbed it and wrapped it while hanging off his plant. He has gone from the nice little well mannered eater to a mouse beast lol. And he doesnt even bother killing the mice. This is the second one that he just ate while it squeaked going down. Definitely going to switch to FT once he is up t hopper mice as i dont want any accidents.

VERY NICE pick up John - you beat me to another benchmark snake - I better get my pennies together for my BHP before you get one. LOL

Aw little cutie best wishes with her. Makes me want to give green trees another chance. Maybe later in life.

Hahaha too funny. I was actually talking to the reptile gal last week and she was trying to figure out what i would get next. She guessed Woma since i've been on a python kick with Caesar and now Pat but i told, if i got another python, it would be either a Black Head or a Sorong or Jayapura cross. I want that sweet blue stripe.
I'm sure you will beat me though. I am pretty well tapped atm and i dont see a new snake in my future for at least 6 months or more.
And thanks. I was worried Pat was going to be a problem feeder etc but he is turning out to be a well settled little garbage can. He started out kind of weak on the food drive but the past 2 feedings, he has been gung ho and hasnt even bothered killing the pinkies and fuzzies. He just gulps them down as they are squeaking and kicking. Kind of disturbing seeing a snake yawn to reset its jaws and hearing a squeak come out of it lol. He is definitely going to FT when he is up to stuff that can actually bite him.

Lol yeah Pat sometimes gets the wild hair. I think it seems when they gotta go poop or piss or they are thirsty. Usually after i mist the cage, Pat will come out and drink water of his scales or plant leaves or the side of the glass. Was walking by and caught Pat out drinking water off the glass today.

I'm glad he's eating for you - that can be stressful waiting to see if they're going to eat or not. Those Biaks are amazing - BIG and colorful.
LOL - I've been watching Derek Roddy, Ike Lightener, and Enginee837 BHP projects.....hope to get one soon (in the next 12 months).
Picking up a used T25 with RHP's pretty cheap in Chicago when I visit in Feb to make more room :-)
Good luck with Pat.
