Update on Sangre - First time outside! (DUW)
Surprisingly enough, I didn't get tagged!
I apologize in advance for the low pic quality; he didn't cooperate very well, and I was also on the watch for any of the neighborhood cats... for their safety as well as his! Even if he didn't bite me, a small mammal getting too close would have put him over the edge.
Hopefully you can see his killer colors a bit better in the light...


His colors are incredible, but I also like him in b&w. 


He was pretty freaked. I'm lucky he didn't bite me. Note the small pupils.


Photoshoot from a few days ago...

My desktop background pic-

Shows a bit of his girth.

He's doing great!! I've had him for roughly a month now. The tub I originally had him in was just a tad too big; I thought it would be okay. But I guess with the combination of a too-big tub and relocation stress, he wasn't going to eat.
So I moved him into a smaller tub. I'd done all my research (and more) before getting him, but nothing I read could have prepared me for his killer feeding response! I'm loving it! I've nicknamed him my Rodent Disposal; he got a few live mice that Cu wasn't eating, and last week he took a f/t mouse!!! I've been in the hobby for almost two years, and that is the first f/t rodent that hasn't ended up in the trash! I am soooo excited. Totally loving this guy. He's quite a sweetie, too; even for a Borneo, much better than I expected. Some hissing, he took a very large dump on me today, puffing, and thrashing, but no tags or strikes.
The only problem is that short tails are proving more addicting than BPs. I'm considering putting my plans for a spider and a pastel aside and getting a red or black blood instead.
Thanks for looking!
