Thanks. Yeah, he has definitely grown since I got him back in Oct. He seems to be mellowing on the food drive so maybe that means he's slowing down or going into a lull lol. I'll just watch for him to start thickening up and I'll back him off food like Cody was saying in his videos for males. So far he's still pretty trim and NEVER wants to sit still haha. Always leans forward as far out as he can or stands straight up and touches the ceiling lol. Only time he is quiet is in his cage when he sits in his cool hide and then he pokes his head to look at me. Got a couple jumbo hides coming for him and Dottie this Tuesday so hopefully they both like them.

And omg, when I was giving him exercise time on me, his stomach starting making gurgling and bubbling noises while he was cruising around on me. I was praying he wouldn't poop or piss all over me lol. I got lucky so were still at 149 days accident free at the 'work site' lol.

Lol yeah he's got some bulk but dang when he holds on, he holds on. Strong little bugger. You should see when he grabs a rat. Squeezes the bejesus out of it lol. And yeah, think, I'm going to just stick with 200g rats which is like a large medium. The 240g I gave him left a huge lump and the 150g rat I gave him didn't do squat really so a 200g should be a happy median. And for the schedule, think i'm going to just go off of when he comes out and starts roaming all over, i'll feed him instead of giving him a set schedule like the boas. Plus his quail and stuff.

Okay I'm getting impatient waiting for the T8, can I see how you have you enclosures set up?

Looks like you are having a ball, with your Python.

I guess it's ultimately up to the supplier but a 200 gram rat is a mid-sized large, larges usually average 150-270 grams. I think the largest larges I get are maybe 290 grams.

But if he's starting to get to the point where his food intake starts to decrease a bit, a 200 gram rat sounds a good place to start.

The gurgling is definitely anxiety-inducing, but I've gone the entire (almost) 2 years with River without incident. I think if you've been lucky thus far your luck may continue, they give a lot of false alarms sometimes.

Yeah the gurgling was the first time I've ever heard it. He was cruising all over me though and standing up trying to reach the ceiling and stretching out. My boas make that gurgling from their gut sometimes too. Usually it is a prelude to a big turd lol.

And yeah, I guess 200g would be a small large. My gal sells mediums up to about 170-180g. Then her larges are about 190g-280g.

Yeah I haven't taken any really recent pictures but I can throw up an older one. I'll get a new batch when the 2 T8s get here next week hopefully.


This is an older one. I don't have the plant in Caesar's cage anymore as he got stuck in it so I removed it. And the bottom cage, I gave Rosey back her hide like the middle cage. And I've switched from the ReptiChips to Eco Earth lol. Yeah yeah yeah, I hated the stuff but I ran out of ReptiChips so I needed something now and EE was cheap and now it actually seems to be working well as long as I stir it everyday for the first few days.

I like your setup.
