    Thank you. What kind of morphs would you suggest. I plan on getting two more this year maybe.

    I highly suggest you get the two you have now feeding with the properly temps that have been measured by a thermo-gun or something of the sort before you go and buy more. There will be plenty of time to figure out the female morphs you want. They need to grow significantly before you can breed them, so you have time.

    Life others said, let them adjust for a week with NO handling. Trust me, I know it is hard when you first get them, but this is crucial. If they aren't taking the f/t, try dipping the f/t in hot chicken broth before offering. That worked on my BP that is a finicky eater. I just boil the chicken broth and then take it off the stove and pour in a mug, then dip the fully thawed out rat/mouse in the broth a few times. Most of the time they prefer if it is quiet and dark when they feed. I usually feed mine around dawn. Good luck. They are both beautiful.
