He sure is!!! More so than I ever could have imagined from the pictures I'd got from the breeder. The colors and pattern and the white patches are so striking in person!

So, Salisbury here was only using his hide on the cool side, and I had a different hide on each side so I thought I should get another one of the hides I keep on his cool side to put on the hot side as well. I remember reading somewhere that you should have the same hide on both sides, that way if he feels more secure in one he won't have to sacrifice temperature needs for security. I picked up another branch thingy for him to climb on too, since I had seen him enjoying the one that I already had in there!

Here he is, surveying his domain from atop his branches...

Man, leaving this guy alone for a week while he gets settled in is the hardest thing to do!

Salisbury are for the first time tonight!!!! I'm so excited and proud [emoji1]

At first he was sniffing the f/t rat but didn't seem interested, but I did manage to snap this cute picture:

I left the rat on the screen on top of his tank, and figured when he started getting more active as night fell, I would try again. And lo and behold, he struck!

I'm so proud of my boy for eating for the first time for me [emoji1] The breeder fed him live, so this was his first f/t rat too - and I'm glad he took it without too much trouble! That bodes well!
