That really puts into perspective how tiny your little gender neutral animal is. WOW so little.

Yup. He's about 18 inches or slightly longer when he stretches out. He can hang from the top of on of this plastic plants and easily reach the floor which he does a lot lol. He just looks really tiny when he is curled up.

LOL Mine I find is over 24 inches long... I don't want to admit how I know but it involved her getting excited and unceremoniously uncoiling to the bottom of the enclosure

Wow yours is huge lol. Pat is growing quick though. Little worm has probably close to doubled his thickness and put on at least a couple inches in the past month ive had him. Lol i got Pat excited a few nights ago when i thought he was stuck in the front of the cage hanging from the space between the lid of the cage and frame. I opened the door and put a perch next to him and just touched him if he needed to get down. He obviously wasnt stuck and scooted along the rim there to his plant, came down, and looked at me from his perch lol. I think he wasnt too pleased i interrupted his nightly climbing. I've never had him drop from a perch. He did stretch out like i mentioned during the day and flick his tongue at my hand a few times. I was expecting to get tagged but nope, he just backed up and curled back up on the perch. I guess he was thinking it was dinner until he smelled it.

I'm actually thinking of pushing him out to once a week for feedings now. I fed him once every 4 days and today was his first feeding after 5 days. He is kind of getting chubby though so i might push him out like i said to once a week. He is up to small fuzzy mice now.

You settle on what to do for misting? I was all set to get a mistking with zero drip until I got this new enclosure. It now keeps humidity up so well that the pressurized hand mister I have now is more than enough to keep her happy. The great thing about the pressurized mister I have is that it is much gentler than the spray bottle so she doesn't get upset if I mist her.

I have heard all sort of bad things about those exoterra monsoons.

Talked to a few of the guys on the GTP boards and most say those automatic misters arent worth the trouble or the cash. I ended up buying a 1 gallon pump sprayer since i have to mist everyone once a week anyways in the winter. I was looking into getting a Mistking when i upgraded Pat to an AP A20 48x24x36 this summer but not going to bother now. just going to stick with hand misting and just throw in a few low growing plants like Nerve Plants as well as a few Parlor Palms. Lucky for me, Pat doesnt poop or piss off his perches. He comes down to the floor and plays in his water bowl and then drops a deuce and piss next to it. Little guys loves to poop and piss. He pooped twice this week and pissed like 3 times haha.

And they got huge teeth. I fed Pat his small fuzzy mouse today and when he grabbed it by the head, i saw in his mouth and saw his teeth and holy moly, for a little 18 inch worm, he has huge teeth haha. I was just looking at those teeth until he hung down and coiled the mouse.

And i dont mist the snake anymore. A few people told me thats not a good idea as it can train them to drink water off their coils and glass instead of from a water bowl. Not sure if its true but i dont do it anymore plus Pat LOVES his deli cups on the floor and spends time there nightly hanging off the sides and dunking his head under the water and splashing around lol. He's such a goofy little snake.

Oh trust me I know now first hand just how big and sharp those needle teeth are. They are also faster than you can react LOL. Vet did a full inspection of her mouth and the massive amount of teeth they had just floored me.

Lol thought you got bit until i read to the end of the statement. Guess ETBs have even bigger teeth haha. I kind of want an ETB but i really want another GTP, an Aru X Biak cross. Saw a few of them on the GTP page and they are awesome looking. Plus i didnt know that Biaks are the longest to change color GTPs. Guys were telling me biaks usually change their whole lives where as other ones can go through that ontogenetic change in in a year or less. Actually makes me kind of happy i got a Biak as I'll be able to see Pat changing with each shed a little throughout his life lol. But i do still want an Aru/Biak like i said. A red neonate too. Think that will be my next snake actually once i get Pat into his AP A20. I'll use the 18x18x18 cube for the Aru/Biak red neo

Well i went over to see if Porky was still sleeping on his perch and it looks like he is awake and getting ready to patrol. The little Porker just ate day before yesterday and is out and about already. I wiggled my finger at the front of the cage door and he extended out to see if it was dinner haha. I swear, he is a mini version of Caesar...eats, poops, pisses, causes trouble.....rinse and repeat a day or 2 after eating lol.

Wait yours doesn't freeze the moment you come within 20 feet of it?
