Thanks man. He is pretty awesome. Wish i would have gotten into them 30 years ago lol.

Ok, caught Pat out and about at night as it has been a few days since he ate so i think he is cruising around to get his pooper primed as you can see he has a little sausage butt going lol. He usually starts cruising around at day 3-4 after his meal and drops a deuce. But here are some pics to give you an idea of how much this worm has grown. When i got him back on December 27th, I was concerned that the 18x18x18 would be too big for him. Now it's been almost exactly 4 months and now i am thinking he is getting too big for the cage lol. He's like Caesar.....eat, poop, cause trouble, repeat. And he still has no green on him yet. Read some comments from a few guys with biaks and they said, it can take 2 years for them to start changing and last as much as 5 years. They are very slow at changing and usually do it over years rather than days or weeks like other locals. Also they said, biaks are a mixed bag on what they change to. Some keep a lot of yellow, some get a lot of green, some get a mix. That's why they like biaks. It's a surprise with each one but they all tend to be a bit angry lol. Luckily Pat seems pretty laid back. He's just cranky if you wake him up and will hiss at you and move elsewhere to curl back up lol. But anyways, i cant wait to see what colors and pattern this little guy gets.

Alright, was a nice warm and sunny day today but of course i had limited time. So here is only a couple pics i snapped of Pat for his first day outside. Then we worked on interpersonal skills which he only half heartedly attempted. I could tell he wasnt so much into it as when he gets a little upset, he doesnt bite, he seems to stand up and try and find a higher place to go lol. So i ended up letting him crawl back into his cage. Nice slow baby steps so each outing is enjoying and enriching and not terror and fear. Also he has a little white spot on his head which is kind of hard to see unless you get the right amount and angle of lighting. Could this be the start of Pat changing colors!!??? We will see!!!

Lol yeah Pat is pretty freakin bright. Even in a semi dark room when watching TV, i can still see him/her/it from far away when he is out front playing on his front perches.

She glows in the dark!:O:D

Well i pulled the trigger and talked to Ali and ordered Pat an A10 24x24x36 cage. Ended up just getting the LEDs installed and I'll install my own RHP and figure out a set up for a small UVB tube.

Caught little Pat out being a weirdo tonight. Been 3 days since dinner and like clockwork, he dropped a deuce and piss and is out in force. He was practicing his 'spider snake' across the top of the cage. Bad pic but i had to get it quick as he doesnt sit still too long when its poop night and he is empty lol.

And to continue the Pat thread, here is lights out for Pat and he is to the races again. I cant wait to get his 2x2x3 AP cage. Going to set up like 5 or 6 perches all different heights so the little booger can climb t his hearts desire.

I swear, i think my snakes are broken. I feed them nice sized prey like 95% of the time. Dont make them wait too long inbetween meals yet they beg for more ALL the time lol. Louie ate his weaned rat and then struck the glass door every time i walked by the cage for over an hour. Everyone else watched me like a hawk. Caesar followed me around back and forth at the front of the cage even with a decent size lump from the guinea pig in him. And best of all, Pat the garbage can......he ate his biggest meal yet about 6 hours ago and guess what...the little booger is out trying to catch more dinner with his little tail haha. He was wiggling it like a madman and has the giant pupils going haha.
