    Pre-shed meal.
    Normally I don't feed during a pre-shed but he was game and I had a refused F/T rat.

    Wallace is pictured here taking a rat in his dark phase.

    Cloudy eyes and all, he made short work of this meal.

    I still totally dig his cage and setup. He seems very at home here whether it be on the floor or in the perches.

    He is looking great. I have had no issues getting any of my retics to eat. Shedding doesn't seam to bother them as much as other species. Happy he is doing well.

    He's still doing well here. Actually he's been fairly mellow when coming out of the cage.

    He does like to cruise now and then though.

    do you have photos of the way your cages are decorated? I just got a whole host of PVC in and right now they're looking sort of empty :(

    Yes.
    Check back further in this thread or search my started threads. I have a bunch of cage photos.

    Back home now. If you are not into searching here are some photos of various setups.

    This is the retic cage. 6' wide, 30" deep and 2' tall. I use a huge water bowl and 1 floor hide. The perches are a mixture of real tree branches, thick wood dowels and a fence post (the big kind) wrapped in twine.

    These are the 4 footers of various depths and heights.
    Every cage sans the top 4 footer has a durable, rubber, rock background.

    All are furnished in a similar fashion. I enjoy semi arboreal setups and the snakes seem to thrive with the options they are afforded.

    All four cages.

    Hope that helped.

    Wow that looks great! Thanks for the ideas and obviously saving me some digging. But I will certainly look back into your threads! Thanks!

    I just dig the arboreal stuff.

    Wallace likes to ambush from the canopy.

    He will likely never eat a rabbit, so quail and large rats fit the bill. Quail is a nice change.

    He figured out gravity helps when dealing with quail. They are more difficult to eat.

    Thanks for looking.
