Alex the OSHY Biak red neo

One milestone conquered. Alex had his first meal after being here 3 days. Took a little enticing as i think he was sleeping and he is a pretty shy little guy so he just tucked his head and wanted to sleep more lol. But after rubbing it on him a couple times and him smelling it, he perked up and grabbed it. Took him a while to eat it as it was alive and he wanted to make sure it was dead and never had a live mouse before. Pat though used to just eat his pinkie mice alive as they squeaked down his gut. Felt bad but was kind of funny seeing a squeaking GTP.

Sauzo... very nice addition! How did you make those perches? I have been looking for something like what you have. Looks kinda like bird perches?? :)

Thaey just oak dowels from Home Depot. I just cut them to size and then dremel the ends so they dont spin if i'm using the 1/2 inch perches. Anything smaller and i have to zip tie a cross beam into it to lock them together to keep them from spinning.

That is one gorgeous snake Sauzo! If you don't mind me asking, how are the rod holders attached to the sides of the terrarium? With any luck I'll be picking up my first GTP sometime in November and I'm trying to figure out a good perch setup.

Thanks. I use these https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commerci...B-10/203531942 and then just dremel one side down on 1 perch side so i can slide the perches down into it on that side.

Well, Alex shed. Wasnt the best shed. I had to rub a piece off the top of his head which he wasnt too thrilled about but was overall very laid back and didnt even try to bite. He just kept looking up at me lol. The breeder and I attribute this to the 2 days being in a box for shipping. He said that snake never had a shed issue. Anyways, he is nice and red now. And surprisingly, he is actually pretty friendly for a GTP.

Lol thanks. I'm floored how calm he is after only 4 days. I was able to handle him with no real scare or biting. Didnt even hiss at me. After i showed the breeder the pics, he sent me a message saying "I kind of regret selling him now. He was so close to being one of my holdbacks."
