    Hey all! Letting everyone know that Tapioca has arrived all safe and sound! Apparently he's gained a little weight! He's now 126 grams! He's already the sweetest little guy and he's settled himself in his cool hide (one of the Zelda ones yessss). I even caught a glimpse of him going in it at the last second! But not soon enough for a picture

    Other pics coming soon!

    Its nice to know he made it to you safely! What was his hatch date? I think Garrick may underfeed his young snakes compared to what some people here say. The Hatching BEL I am waiting on is currently being fed crawler mice, and everyone here says hoppers out of the egg is what they think a hatching should be fed. Im guessing Tapioca was being fed hoppers before being sent to you. People here say hoppers for just the first few meals. I trust whatever Garrick is doing tho. You hear nothing but good things about him and the snakes he produces.

    Thats quite interesting. Just received mine from Garrick (196g) and he mentioned to feed it small mice but after looking at the f/t at Pet smart it seemed tp make more sense to feed medium size. It was also mentioned that transitioning to rats might be a little tricky and might not be needed since I don't plan to breed. Any logic to this? I trust Garrick and his good reputation. Just looking for others opinions.

    Sorry for taking a while everyone! Here are the pics as promised!

    Most were taken by my husband but some were taken by my inferior ipad So sorry for the varying quality in images haha












    So far while taking temperature checks I've caught him exploring a couple of times, which surprised me! He spent a good 2 hours at least in his cool hide and I was honestly expecting him to be there all day. My latest check I assumed he was still there and I wanted to give his ledge a bit of a spray because I didn't like how it was getting lower and suddenly

    I SAW THIS AND HE SCARED ME!

    I did NOT expect him to go on his ledge today at all lol. Turned on the light just to get this quick shot and promptly turned them off and left him alone with a black foam board covering the glass doors so he has complete privacy.

    But I took a small peak and he was already making his way down to who knows where now.



    Currently the top thermometer you see is monitoring the hot spot and top humidity as I've placed the probe from my other thermometer to keep check of the inside of his hot hide. Temp gun says substrate surface reads at 91-92. I'm not sure exactly how much of the meter reading is actually ambient air (seems too hot?) vs surface temp. So I've dialed it down some to see if I can get it to 88 instead. Debating if I should get a third meter to hang up away from the substrate just to monitor the ambient air or just hang this one.

    P.S - anyone know how I can clear the acurite's hi/low history? It keeps listing it's old history when I used to keep it in the unused half of the cage.

    His hatch date is 1/19/17 so he's a close to 9 months! Garrick said he was being fed on small mice.
