They never called me back since Thursday. I reckon they don't need the business.

Oh, I saw that 50 lb minimum. I don't need 50 lbs either. Caesar eats a lot but dang 50 lbs is a bit much.

Why did you switch to paper towel? Gene is still on Medium rats, I could probably bump him up to large rats but I have a freezer full of Mediums. Caesar looks beautiful.

Thanks. I switched temporarily because he got a couple scrapes on his chin from pushing when he was being fed medium rats. I might put him back on ReptiChips after he sheds out the 2 scrapes but I'm also debating leaving him on paper towels. He seems to like paper towels and really enjoys going under them and slithering all over and popping his head out lol. Also it makes clean up and spotting pee really easy. And it also still keeps humidity around 60-70% since I use a big water bowl. So really I'm not seeing any downside to the paper towels except look wise.

The boas, dumerils and BP will stay on ReptiChips as they don't piss nearly as much as Caesar so I really don't have to constantly go through it with a fine tooth comb to find any kind of piss. They all leave a giant white urate blob that screams "here I am!!" where as Caesar does lots of just liquid piss with no urate.

Bumping Caesar up to large rats was the best thing I did for him. He is still quiet as a church mouse on Sunday and last time he ate was Wednesday. So it's been 5 nights and 4 days and so far all is quiet on the western front :P

This will also allow me to stretch everyone out to every 10 days for feeding and Vicky and Rosey can go to every 3 weeks.

I'm also very OCD about keeping my snakes clean so hate the thought of piss in the substrate that I cant find haha. Mostly because I take them all out every few days to hang out on me or just let them explore and I don't want a piss covered dirty snake cruising on me or my furniture or bed haha.

What size hides are you using for him Sauzo? Are they the XL 16.5"x11".5"? Just wondering as I see how they fit in your T10 and I have of them for when the Balls are adults along with the (MED 11"x7") they use now as there young.
I always order extra things i'll need in the future trying to save on shipping hahahaha

Nah these are the larges. The 13x9 ones. Caesar easily fits in them. Dottie though is a big bottom girl so they are kind of small for her now. She needs the extra large ones which I'll order her when her T8 gets here. Then I can give her large hides to Rango.

Ok, we need more pictures . If you don't post more pictures, you can't play with us anymore.:D

Haha I don't have any new pics of Caesar yet as he should be shedding in a few days. I can scrounge up an older one. Here's a blurry one and another of him hanging out with his door open as I watched tv. He's getting to be like the boas and enjoying a door left open so he can look out and hang down and look at the floor until he gets bored and goes back in lol.

Here's 2 more of him playing jungle snake!! I had to remove the plant cause his curious dumb butt got stuck in a ring of the plant and I had to rescue him by cutting the ring. Was a bonding moment though as he curled up on me after and sat there for 20 mins. the next day, he was back to breaking stuff like nothing happened haha.

He looks great. I guess you can stick around a bit longer, since you posted more pictures.

Matt is a nice guy. I've been down to visit him as he's about 2 hours away from me. I've hear mixed reviews on his business, and I was very happy he was accommodating to me when I came down with my kids. I toured the cage plant and his retic facility. He's had a few big hardships as of late. He lost a young daughter to SIDS within the last year, and is getting married or did recently.


I'm still looking at buying a cage from him but it will require another visit.


Caesar looks great in those pictures as always.

Wallace may be in shed, but I may give him a quick meal tonight.

I'm still going to weigh my larges for you Sauzo.
