Thanks. I think Pat is scared of the Reptile Prime lol. He is curled up on top of a plant looking down at it. Funny how snakes can detect substrate changes very fast without even being on it. Gina and Louie are the same. Any kind of new substrate and they are very wary of it. Took Gina and Louie about 5 mins of sitting on my hand as a perch inside the cage while they inspected the cypress. Then once they deemed it to not be hot lava, they cautiously climbed down to it.

And yeah, Pat is a handful now. The little booger is always Caudal luring at night and is constantly hungry. I think Hilabeans was right, maybe Pat is going through a growth spurt. Pat just had a nice juicy fuzzy mouse 2 days ago and the lump is completely gone.
