Caesar progression thread.

[Sauzo]

Why did you switch to paper towel? Gene is still on Medium rats, I could probably bump him up to large rats but I have a freezer full of Mediums. Caesar looks beautiful.

Thanks. I switched temporarily because he got a couple scrapes on his chin from pushing when he was being fed medium rats. I might put him back on ReptiChips after he sheds out the 2 scrapes but I'm also debating leaving him on paper towels. He seems to like paper towels and really enjoys going under them and slithering all over and popping his head out lol. Also it makes clean up and spotting pee really easy. And it also still keeps humidity around 60-70% since I use a big water bowl. So really I'm not seeing any downside to the paper towels except look wise.

The boas, dumerils and BP will stay on ReptiChips as they don't piss nearly as much as Caesar so I really don't have to constantly go through it with a fine tooth comb to find any kind of piss. They all leave a giant white urate blob that screams "here I am!!" where as Caesar does lots of just liquid piss with no urate.

Bumping Caesar up to large rats was the best thing I did for him. He is still quiet as a church mouse on Sunday and last time he ate was Wednesday. So it's been 5 nights and 4 days and so far all is quiet on the western front

This will also allow me to stretch everyone out to every 10 days for feeding and Vicky and Rosey can go to every 3 weeks.

I'm also very OCD about keeping my snakes clean so hate the thought of piss in the substrate that I cant find haha. Mostly because I take them all out every few days to hang out on me or just let them explore and I don't want a piss covered dirty snake cruising on me or my furniture or bed haha.
