    Congratulations!! :D I have been watching your other post for progress so glad I came across this!

    I feed in my enclosure as I see more pro's in it. The main one being, if you shouldn't handle for around 48 hours due to chance of regurge, handling directly after a feed can't be a good idea. All of mine are fed in their homes and none are cage aggressive.

    Good luck with your new little one :D

    But especially feeding live, he won't ingest that much substrate, a little is not worry some, their digestive system breaks down bone, a lil substrate isn't gonna hurt.
    Their bodies are made for this type of thing.... I'm pretty sure the ingest some dirt and whatever else is layin on the ground in Africa :)

    Lol, That I'd true, I never really thought of it that way, but that makes complete sense. In using cypress mulch. (Forest breeding) seems to hold moisture petty good.

    Are rats really that much better than mice? I never knew there was a real difference besides size.

    Rats make it easier when the BP gets older. It's easier to feed one rat versus 4-5 mice to an adult BP. Congrats on your new addition!

    I noticed a couple flakey scales on her head. Will these go away?
