Haha thanks. It is pretty awesome and soooo tiny. She's grounded atm which kind of worries me but I was told that's normal when they are stressed or in a new home sometimes. I was told give it a couple days and it should be back up on a perch.

Very nice :gj:

Awesome addition!!!!!!:gj:

Sssimply ssstunning sssnake!

Well i got awesome news. Pat had his first meal today. I'm guessing the new tub is to his liking as he ate 1 day after being in it. I upgraded him to a sterilite 25 qt 16x11x11. He was sleeping up on his plant which he loves so i woke him by rubbing the pinky on his side. He woke up, turned around and looked at it and then tried to go back to sleep haha. I rubbed him again and he turned around and i guess fully woke up because he snatched it and ate it. Then he curled back up on top of his plant and is going back to sleep haha. I'm so happy.

How's the side UTH working? I ended up placing mine on top and it works for now. Mine is finally settling in after 3 weeks and I thought BPs were slow to acclimate :O

Congrats on a successful first feeding! I'm guessing pat isn't sexed due being so young? Good call on the gender neutral naming in that case haha! Do I detect an old SNL reference?

I like the Ultratherm on the side as it gives a nice gradient from right to left. I got a nice 86F on the perch right next to the UTH and 79F at the farthest end. I just zip tie the herpstat probe right to the closest perch.

I hear ya. Maybe I'm lucky but Pat seems to be settling in nice. I got him Thursday and between being brought home, put in the 15 qt tub, then yesterday being transferred to the 25 deluxe tub as he seemed to really hate the 15 qt tub set up, and then eating today, i think he is doing good. He also hasnt even tried to bite me yet. He climbed on my arm from his perch and then fell off onto the bed as my arm was too big for him to grip lol. Thank god i had him over the bed. He did tag the gal i got him from twice though and actually drew blood from her but so far with me, he just seems to want to check me out lol. Knock on wood that i got lucky.

Haha, you are too old like me. The name 'Pat' is exactly from the SNL skit character as the GTP is too young to be sexed and i doubt i ever will as i dont intend to breed and i see no need to put that stress on 'it' lol.

He's beautiful. I hope one day I will get to add one to my collection.
