Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

[dakski]

Feliz was a goofball last night. I offered him his first rat pup - 20G - and it barely left a dent. He could eat bigger, but I am growing him slow, or trying too. He's still growing like a weed.

Anyway, on to the goofball part. He struck, and missed - his first miss. He was apparently frustrated (). He struck past it, pulled his head back, and was right next to it, grabbed it by the neck, and yanked it off the tongs and coiled.

Good thing it wasn't alive!

BTW - the spots on my tank doors are not because they are dirty. I mist the tanks for the boas and pythons (and sometimes Solana and Figment if in shed) sometimes, especially in the winter, and found one of the best ways to keep the humidity up in the boaphiles is to mist the door(s). The doors are vented around and the air moves around them and distributes the humidity. This way, I am not getting substrate too wet (and since I use printless newspaper, it dries out fast anyway), but keeping humidity up for a while.

For the record, the tanks do a great job of keeping humidity over 50% down to 25-30% in the winter here in my dry, heated, basement. However, at least every few days, and in shed, I get it over 60% for the boas and pythons. How far over depends on the species.
