"Whitey" the BEL, Development Thread

[T2theG]

Hello All,

Just wanted to start a thread showing the development of my newly acquired male BEL. He is from a Mojave x Butter and I named him after James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger, Jr., former organized crime boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston. He just reminded me of how Johnny Depp portrayed him in the movie Black Mass with the bright blue eyes and white hair.

He's in a 36" x 18" x 18" Exo Terra terrarium with two hides (cool and warm side), small water dish, driftwood, a few fake silk plants on the background, hertopia coconut substrate and I use a proportional thermostat to keep the warm side hide surface temp at about 92 degrees. The Exo Terra came with a background and then I added some rain forest window clings to each side so he feels nice and secure. Tank stays at 82 degrees ambient air temp on the warm side and about 76 degrees on the cool side that are measured with mini wireless thermo/hygrometer combo units. Humidity stays right around 60% in the entire cage.

So far he has been active and eaten two frozen thawed adult mice and shed once for me since I picked him up two weeks ago. Thanks for checking him out!
