We've cursed ourselves! It's only a matter of time now until we get teh teefs!

haha no kidding im going to go home try to feed and hes going to latch onto my arm and im going to go running around the house like a mad man, its going to be bad haha

I have feed my adult black an XXL rat about once a month and even that seemed like it's too much for her metabolism. They definitely don't need rabbits. With her feeding response, you'd think I was starving her.

And she's going on a diet.

About the setup thing..I would never keep a blood in a glass tank. You'd never get the right humidity. It's more important that you get your setup right with a blood than with a ball, before you get your blood. They are more sensitive to husbandry issues.

what would you reccomend to keep one in?
right now im using tanks...
BUT im getting a multi unit cage/rack setup by cages by design custom built.

Right now i have my blood male 1 1/2 in a CB70 he will be in there for a while but soon i will move him into this,

That will house a full grown male, but females do get bigger then males.

You're going to want to start him out in a tub....in fairly cramped quarters. Bloods like to be almost cramped to feel secure. How big depends on the size of blood you plan on getting. I keep my 6 year old adult female in a boaphile 421D and my 3 year old sarawak (boreno) male will be moving into in an animal plastics T10 when i get back from vacation and have a chance to put it together.

I can promise you that isn't true.

What is worse than their bite, however, is when they musk you.

thank you all very much, very helpful.
