Some folks just like to eat!

Hope the video link works.

He's into his food, but he's well behaved.



We went with the green lights last night.



Wallace is doing great, thanks for looking.

Another relaxing night in the jungle.

Winter is here and I've dropped cage temps a few degrees during the day. I keep the night drop the same year round.

I also limit the daylight hours a bit. I use the blue lights until we black out at the end of the night.

I never get tired of this.

How beautiful those blue lights look, is got to be so soothing for the sneks, like moonlight
I also do this Gio, I have the lights in the sneak room on 2 timers. The main light goes off at 6pm and the "stars" light up for 2 hours before going off as well and they have complete darkness, except for the blue light of the herpstat 4 .
I got to explain what the "stars" are; I have a strip of Christmas lights on the upper edge of the room's walls.

These are not the best photos but they show a little more progression in size.

Wallace is a moderate percentage of SD, a larger percentage of Dwarf, and has a minimal amount of mainland.

He's not a monster by any stretch, but he is certainly not what the typical SD male would spec out at.



At this point I like how he handles and I feel confident in taking out alone. That said, I don't particularly like him near my neck. He has a bit of the SD/male twitchiness. At times it makes him annoying to take out.


This species of snake is active and fairly rewarding to keep. I think males tend to be more of a challenge than females, yet that really depends on the individual. I have not had the issues with Wallace that JM had with Gerald.



I'm not expecting or hoping for a lot more growth with this guy.

I still observe arboreal behavior nightly, and often during the day with Wallace.

Hopefully these pictures give a perspective of size.
