    It's neat that he recognizes me, but something tells me it's more out of "Oh do you have food?" than anything else. It's like a much more subtle version of the attention I get from my fish lol.

    So that weird "scratch" on his belly I brought up a while ago? It took me until yesterday to realize that it's just his belly button.

    Still learning my way around the basics it would seem.

    Well what me and my boyfriend did was take a tank that was really tall and turned it on it side and used j channel to make a track and used plexie to make sliding doors and the command hooks to latch the doors in place. It turned out great and you could keep the tank you have. Cluttering it would be a good idea though.

    All's been going well so far; eating well, looking well, behaving well, really about the last challenge to go will be switching him to rats which I'll try once he reaches the 200 gram mark (which he's really close to, currently at 175 and should breach it by the time his current mouse supply is done).

    However I've started looking into new housing for the future. Would like to get a T8 from Animal Plastics (especially because dealing with the humidity imbalance is getting tiresome), but the question is how long should I wait until he's old enough to feel comfortable in larger digs? A year old or so I'm assuming? He's already at 5 months and with how long they take to ship I'm wondering if it'd be a good idea to order one relatively soon, and the T8 model is currently on sale to boot.

    It continues to amaze me how compact snakes can make themselves (though I with BALL pythons I guess it'd go without saying that it's their specialty).

    Zebes is around 2 feet long yet here he is neatly fitting in my palm.

    With the onset of winter and indoor heating, it's become a daily struggle to keep humidity levels up. The highest I can keep it at is 50% at best by soaking half the substrate in warm water before it dips back into the 30's in 24 hours. And I don't want to soak it too much either since you know, scale rot (I already take precaution and don't wet the area around the hide he spends most of his time in).

    I still have the humidity box in there and I've yet to see him use it again since his last shed and he's eating as eagerly as ever so it's clearly not bothering him thus far at least.

    A room humidifier placed near his cage would likely help.

    Problem is he lives in the basement and my mom doesn't want more humidity down here. The only ending solution would be to get a PVC enclosure and that won't be until next year when he's big enough for it.

    Get a plastic bowl or Tupperware tub of soaked sphagnum moss and put it in the enclosure. I keep a tub of soaked moss under my Radiant Heat Panel and that moisture evaporates and raises the humidity throughout the entire enclosure. Your substrate stays dry so no concerns of scale rot. You'll just have to re-soak the moss every few days as it dries out.
