Spit Fire and Crush

[Skyrivers]

Tip for arboreals....make removable perches. It will make your life a lot easier. Trying to coax little ones off perches onto a stick is not the best idea since they have very fragile spines and you can easily hurt them as well as kink their tail. I have had Pat almost 6 months now and i have actually 'held' him a total of maybe 3 times. And all 3 of them were his choice to climb on me as i was holding him on a perch and he decided to explore me and see what it was like sitting on an extra large perch(my arm).

Also another tip, make sure the perches are as thick as the snake at the most and no thinner than half his thickness. I personally give Pat perches that are about as thick as him. I was told giving too big of perches to babies can damage their spines as they try to wrap around the perch.

Thanks for the tips. Their perches are removable but neither of them were using them. I put the hook in with them and they climbed on. I did not grab or pull them. I think they thought food was coming. Today is feeding day for everyone. Should make them happier. I think the humidity on the bottom of the cage is higher than the top so they are sitting on the moist moss on the bottom. My humidity is 75-80% depending on how hot the house gets during the day. Spit Fire is in shed so she might need more right now.
