Added a BRB to my collection

[Zincubus]

Thank you - he does look great and can't wait to watch his adult colors explode as he grows. No name yet...still thinking...

Tried to feed today but he wasn't interested so I left the prey in the enclosure on a plastic dish - still there....UGH Hopefully he just needs to settle in a little longer.

Try feeding evenings and warm the mouse up with a hairdryer and offer instantly whilst warm ..

Thanks for the advice.
That's what I figure I'll try next.

HE ATE!!!!!

I thawed and warmed the fuzzy mouse and when it was presented to him he wanted nothing to do with it....NOTHING....here we go again I thought...

So I left it on the paper and in the morning...GONE!!! I'm sooooo happy he finally ate. Hopefully he'll continue to eat and grow into another beautiful Ike Lightener specimen BRB.



Also got my T10 assembled, F10 cleaned, PAM'd, and ready to add to the stack. Although I have a divider for the T10, I'm going to keep him in the sterilite 16qt tub for about a year or so inside the T10 near the RHP (I'll figure out where while dailing in the temps).

HE SHED!!! LMAO - nice surprise this morning when I checked on him after work.

Now I thinking that's why he wasn't interested in eating....husbandry must be acceptable for him....very pleased.

I actually have mine in a divided T10 with heat tape on the bottom. With the extra large Exo Terra water dish always full, humidity stays around 90. He also has the snake hide with moss.

It's been a while since I've posted;

- Decided to name him Babylon
- He's eating 5 gram hoppers right away when presented, no more leaving it in the tub for him to find, thank goodness as that was stressful.
- I still have him in the tub inside the T10 - just think he's still too small and will be able to squeeze between the glass and I don't want that. Seems easier to have him in the tub for now. 95% humidity - temps are stable - on half paper and half Reptile Prime and spends most of his time in the hide or buried in the bedding.
- Another full shed from him

Things seem to be going smoothly so far and his colors look amazing.

Can't update a BRB thread without pictures. I believe that is explicitly stated in the forum rules somewhere. I'd hate to have to report you...

Seriously though, must see pics so I can feed my envy!

I'll grab a couple today LOL

[BR8080]

Took a couple pics today - obviously not the best but he's doing well.

Grabbed a couple pictures today as he shed last week....getting big and looking amazing (IMHO). REALLY looking forward to this Ike Lightener creation transforming into a stunner as he matures. (just my Galaxy S8 phone camera with flash)
