Oh man, he was worse than I thought he would be. Actually I thought the BP was going to be in worse shape. Like I said the guy had not been alternating his diet with fruits, insects, and mice. He just fed a "live rat" diet. And from that he has had horrible sheds and has lost a couple of toes due to his bad sheds. Infact he shed this week the guy said (which was obvious), however there is still some retained shed on his tail ( hence it was obvious he had shed ) Other than that he looks like he is in good shape. I am NOT going to handle him anytime soon! When the guy pulled him out of the pillow case he went berserk! I can't blame him as he was just removed from his "home", maybe he'll settle down in time.

Oh I almost forgot, not only did the BP not come with hides,a heat source,etc. ------ The Tegu didn't come with anything but a bowl :shock: Glad I had a heat pad for the BP and had a left over lamp from my Iguanas. I still have to go get a hide for the Tegu, need to find the Acu-Rite thermometer with the humidity gauge for both the BP, and Tegu, Need to get the UVB light set-up for the Tegu, and I also need to get a screen top for a 75g tank (yeah right!). Do any of you have ideas on how to fabricate a screen for the 75g? I have no clue as to how to do that ( self admitted lousy DIY'er)

I'm ready to play hard ball with this boy about eating his fruits and veggies I know he will hate me for it, but he'll get over it! Oh, I forgot to tell you his name................... BeefSteak :lol: He is so gorgeous even without his toes. I hope he comes to like me in time. Well, I shall keep you updated on his progress! Hope youre ready for questions
