I have been looking at baby biak GTP for a while now, trying to figure out enough info for em, etc.

I am absolutely in love with these snakes. Red or yellow neonates are both amazing. But I'm unsure about how their genetics work. Is it a surprise when they grow up how they look?

I was thinking about getting a pvc cage from here, adding in 3 perches, light, and heat.

The humidity here in NE is high and just by having eco earth moist in my ball pythons tub, it shot up to 90% (15qt) so I'm not worried about having issues there.

I have a couple questions .... well, more than that...

If I get this cage with all of those options, will that be enough heat?

How long/big do they get?

How does one go about handling them? I hear you aren't supposed to do it as much when they are small because they have fragile spines?

What size foods do they take? (to start and how big do they eventually eat?) Will they take ASF?

What age do they start changing color?

ANY other advice. I am not going to be buying one for a while most likely, trying to get all my research done. I MAY be able to get one if they have one at the reptile expo in october in omaha, but I hear it isn't that big and who knows if I'll have the right funds in line to do so.

Thanks in advance ...
