Hi,

OK I managed to sell a whole mess of snakes today for a good price so I decided to treat myself to some cute.

Total impulse buy I am ashamed to say - I only saw it yesterday.

It is tiny - only 3-3.5 inches nose to tail tip.

So can someone tell me what the pattern is called on him - I think the seller said buckskin?







I may need to tweak the enclosure slightly but want to let him settle in a bit first.

They said in the shop he had been eating crickets and Komodo crested gecko diet so I have made up a little of the komodo but have also ordered some repashy base and some papaya flavour ( wanted mango but the seller was out ). How do you find out which flavour they like as at £8.99 ( $13.06 ) a bag buying all the flavours could get expensive.

Since I think it is too small to sex I have decided to call it Lucien and change it to lucy if it turns out to be female.

So far lucien has had a drink from water droplets when I misted the tank but hasn't come down from the top of the viv to look at the food or the waterbowl.
