while with very similar characteristics. They ARE gorgeous & impressive, but this is not jealousy, I can assure you. Hopefully your substrate will help. Diapers would
be ideal though...;) If anyone can figure out how to make this a better experience, I believe that you can. Maybe I should have kept silent, but it's not my strong suit.

Oh that, no worries boger, that's nothing new LOL. That's what basically everyone learns first about indigos haha. I don't find it crazy after cleaning pee and poop smeared all over puppy crates for a million years, and I honestly don't believe it's that huge of a deal. Animals come with cleaning, and it varies across species, however they do it. You can't escape the poops!

LOL, I see! I haven't owned horses, but just seeing the sheer amount of poop always makes me cringe.

I used to milk cows. After about 50 have been through the milking barn....
The wheel barrow would be very heavy. Seemed I was always traversing snow, ice, slush, and general muck to get to the pile where we dumped it. In the early Spring when the cows were first on fresh grass that manure smelled just like dirty baby diapers.

POOP JUST DOESN'T FAZE ME.

Retic owners often warn about the cleaning and mess.
It is what is, but the frequent mess does mean that even short vacations call for a house sitter who is comfortable cleaning your enclosures.

In that case, you are the PERFECT indigo owner. :rockon:

That's one thing that sucks, having to find a sitter for both cleaning and feeding if I go anywhere, because they eat so frequently even as adults. Thankfully I'm taking a looong break from vacations, having spent way too much on traveling this year LOL.

Maybe you can get yourself a small wheelbarrow and muck fork... :rofl:

I wish!

I board my horse on a military installation. I love it there, because that place has been there forever. The barn is carved out in a very remote part of the installation and surrounded by hundreds of acres of deep woods. All kinds of wildlife there. Although it can get a bit spooky at night, it is SO dark surrounding the barn and not a soul ..well, aside from the horses and wildlife. Most people are out of there around 5 or 6 pm. I tend to stay longer and have even spent a few nights with a sick horse.

Unlike most horse boarding barns, out where I am, you have a big area to yourself and the entire place feels remote and out there because of the woods.

What are your plans for andeeding schedule? What substrate are you keeping now?

really is a beauty I love the body shape and heads of drymarcon.

Ive only been feeding my black tail cribo weekly and he’s been pooping about every 5 days or so. Even at a small size he’s been creative with the locations. The wall smearing is real lol.

Hes been getting 3 smaller but good sized meals for his size and he gobbles. May go to 4 soon.

Good luck with the shed!

He's currently on mouse fuzzies and I'm feeding one every 3 days. I have him on paper towel right now for quarantine. He also pooped yesterday, though not as much as I thought! About the same poo texture (lol) and amount as my pine snake of the same age. My northern pine and Drogon are only about a week apart in age, coincidentally. I'll post about future poo updates :rofl:He also has had a perfect shed!

How old and how heavy is your cribo so far?
