Caesar progression thread.

Did you soak in a sealed container for 25 minutes or just a quick swim in the bath ??
Fear not :
When my go into shed I spray the viv well each day then as soon as their eyes clear and they get their colour back I start spraying a few times each day ... You'll probably find :cens0r:the messy , rolled up lump of skin UNDER his hide afterwards ) .
Note they get their colour back and the eyes clear a few days BEFORE the skin actually comes off .
Whilst it's in shed mode - try and find a few appropriately sized branches for his Viv/ rub - as if you want an active Royal you need to give him something to climb on in the evenings ....

So with the 3 T25, what's the plans with the empty enclosures?

I did a quick swim then let him move around my hands while holding a warm washcloth. Didn't want too long of a swim for fear of stressing him or him getting too cold. I'll try the branch trick tho.

Maybe do frequent water sprays in her Viv / rub .

I have done the occasional 25 minute soak , in 86F temp water , in a sealed container - obviously leaving air space at the top but if it's a few inches deep they tend to happily spend most of the time underwater.

I have a container that has clasps on the top so it's safe to place it in the towel cupboard - which is warm and dark .

They wiggle about looking to escape for a minute or two but quickly calm down . On release I have a wet , rough textured towel ready and let the snake slither continually through the towel , when it's head appears I simply cover it up with the towel .

Anyways after the soak any dead skin or retained eye-caps simply cokes off on the towel ( has to be rough textured obviously ..

Going to put a Gila Monster in one and probably either a Pucallpa Peruvian BCC or a Peruvian Long tail BCL.

Well Caesar had his first guinea pig and he went bonkers for it. He usually will coil a rat, then release it and check it out for a few mins. The guinea pig, he slammed it and wrapped that thing up tight and started eating lol. After he was done, he didn't look around for more like with his jumbo rats, he just slowly wandered to the back under the shelf haha. Looks like 443g 2XL guinea pigs and rabbit equivalents are his new meal.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...679b1caf_h.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...995d79ec_h.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...4228ee78_h.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...7d6f3041_h.jpg

It happens fast.

I'll have had Wallace for 1 year this September and the size difference between then and now is unreal.

He looks great, his colors just seem to glow.
