he is generally on a log in the cooler side of the cage.hes always eaten in the cage and never had a problem.im thinking ive just not been feeding him big enough prey,ive been reading a little more on here about the size of prey and the animal......ive been starving him probably...im gonna up the feed size friday for sure.if that doesnt work then ill look into feeding him only in another enclosure.my female who is the same size and age and is in a identical enclosure has not gotten aggressive yet but ill up the size of her diet as well.thanks to all for the help........and my babies, BO and Bell thank you too
