Everyone Meet Illidan!
Hello All,
Meet Illidan!
I rescued this little handsome man from a home that didn't take care of him well. I got him two weeks ago at around 170ish grams and as of last night now weighs 200g! Owner said he was a pastel and seems to be right due to that bright white belly, lips, peachy head, yellow color, and peaching along the vertical and some horizontal paterns.
He's fed twice already with no issues on small mice. I have him eating 20ish gram mice every 5 days till I can either find 30ish gram rat pups or jumbo mice. He does seem thick enough to fit a small rat but I do not think his weight would be good on a 40ish gram rat.
He loves to explore and give me nose boops and tongue flicks on the nose.
He seems super comfortable around me and enjoy hanging out.
No pictures of his enclosure but it's about a 40qt( I think) sterilite tub, coconut husk substrate, good size zoomed UTH, vivarium 300 thermo(hot hide 92 drop to 90 from 8pm till 8am), hot/cool hide, a nice ladder like branch, fake plants,, and a heavy stone water bowl. Humidity stays nice around 55%.
I've had other reptile but this is my first snake but have handled hundreds/thousands in my life as a fisherman and outdoorsman. I'm in love!!! I want more!
Here he is mid shed looking dull but friendly and curious!
He thinks he's a tree python.
Here's a picture fresh after shed last week.
and he just recently found out my nose is a perfect spot for him to grip on.
