Keep your temps cooler-low 80s, they aren't too happy hot. They are talkers so expect some huffing and hissing during handling, they prefer to just kind of hang out on the floor or in your lap, not real fast moving. Babies can be fairly jumpy and scared so you might get nipped a little at first, with normal handling they usually calm down well though. They will hold up waste for many many months, that's normal, slow metabolism so don't feed frequent or overly large meals. Generally pretty willing feeders, they do need good humidity levels so using a tub or pvc cage and heat panels or tape is best for a setup along with a big water dish and I mist daily during shedding. If you want a blood with a really red coloration buy from a breeder that can show you the parents. Or an adult if you are comfortable with that.
