Hey all,

Thanks for the great advice. As far as the cage set-up, Maxim is in a 60 gal. tank, has a large heat rock, a big woven basket hide, a large water bowl for soaking in, and a large branch. His last owner said she fed him a small rat on the 18th, and I'm not sure how often a large fellow like him needs to eat. So, is that cause for being defensive? Is he just hungry?
