Hey gang - I have a beautiful 8 mos old piebald that is really awesome. His tank is a royal pain in the you know what humidity wise so I ordered a AP T10 about 3 mos ago and it’s going to ship soon! So pumped.
My little fellow eats great - currently eating 1 rat pup F/T every 5 Days and eats like a champ every time. He used to stay in his cool side hide all the time but lately he has been exploring the tank like crazy. His temp is consistently 90/80 degrees. His humidity is a little low at 30% but he just had a perfect shed and I’m just trying to get through another couple weeks til the new AP cage and RHP arrives.
So I’m about out of rat pups - and tbh they seem a little small for him. They are well less than the thickest part of his body. Since he Is growing so fast should I jump up to small rats and skip over weaned? He is a solid 427g but was only 200g in Oct when I got him. Perfect prey is showing their small rats in the 50-89g range.
The other question I had is that he is super white! Under certain lighting I can see red striping under his white...it’s really hard to see on a picture but I’m guessing it’s normal?
Picture - you have to look REAL close to see the red stripes:
Last thing I noticed handling him today was a small red mark...any cause for concern?
Thanks in advance
