Pyro will be 2 in August. For some reason my last post about the 120 gal tank did not load right. He is in a 46 gal now and I hope to move him to the 120 gal tank as soon as I find a way to clamp lean or plexiglass to the top. I do not want to mess with the plastic that is on top of the 120. It has a divider piece in the middle and takes double lids as a fish tank. The plastic has a recessed lip that I can get the lean or plexiglass to sit in. I am looking at finding some type of cam clamp to attach the lexan or plexiglass to the lip so that it is escape proof. I have not decided on using lexan or plexiglass yet because I have not called the local glass company to ask which will hold up to having holes drilled into it and a heat of lamp sitting on it. The 120 will be a temporary home to my bredli carpet until I can finish her enclosure and then Pyro will get the 120. I am keeping the 120 as it is so that if I ever decide to get fish again, it will still work as a fish tank.
I almost was able to watch Pyro shed today. I came home from church and checked on him but he still had not shed. I went to clean the inside of the wife's car. I came inside a little latter and he had shed that fast.
He has put on some weight but not as much as I thought he would. I have missed some feedings though due to work and family. I took him outside to play in the grass while the rats were warming up.
Someone did not want to get out of bed to eat. Pyro just went into blue. I got hissed at and a kiss to the finger but he still ate. He finished his last 3 pinkie rats. Next time I will trying to feed with weaned rats so hopefully he will take one. I cleaned his tank the day before and he was out inspecting.
Pyro has joined the 500 club. He finally shed while I was at work. He has been roaming his enclosure all morning now that he is done with sheding. I took him outside after I weighed him to see the new skin in the sunlight.
