Did you get it probed yet? Just curious. BTW, almost all carpets are nippy when young and insecure. Good luck with him!

[Blu Mongoose]

Thanks everyone. No, he hasn't been probed yet. Hoping for female, but not important. I don't have any plans to breed. I only like the females because of their size. Had a chance to get a dynamite adult but was worried about temperment since he has been in the petshop for months. This one has been there probably less than a week.

Blu Mongoose, cute little guy. Where did you get him from a breeder or pet store? Let's see more pics, and larger...

Very pretty carpet you have there!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we have been ours - they are a tad nippy but excellent eaters. And I second the motion for mucho more pictures!

Got him from a pet store. Have to go to work shortly, so will get pics later. He is so active. No problem eating. He's partial to fingers. They had a five yr. old yellow and black there. He was gorgeous. They allow so many people to handle him I was concerned he would be too stressed. At the prices they asked i didn't want to risk the health issues he could possibly have. I didn't know I was getting a snake there. My girlfriend took me , showed me the snakes and had me pick one for my birthday [in november]. She also bought him a nice locking 15 gal. setup. I'll let him relax this week. How long should he be in isolation? I normally keep them there 30 days.
