I'd believe it, he definitely watches me. If I stand too long or look too close, he is aware enough of me that it makes him want to hide. I'm trying to either observe from afar, or look, take a pic, and move on. I did get to watch him last night as he explored for quite a well, once the main light on the tank went out. He is SUPER long, way longer than I thought. I think he is much closer to 28"+ than not. This morning he was in his hot side hide by the time I got up, but I am admittedly a late waker, so it was plenty bright by that time. For being so long, he certainly curls up into a very small size. I ordered all my hides in "small", but they are still clearly big compared to him.
Oh, and he pooped! A tiny thing, but it means he probably ate about a week ago, so he should be plenty hungry when I go to feed him later this coming week.
A pic of him stretching out along the substrate guard, ft. my cat Timotheos.
And a few more pics (zoomed in because I was sitting pretty far) of him on the front decor.
And finally, this pic from closer up that I snagged around 7 AM, when I got up to feed Tim before laying back down again.
It took until after a lot of pictures, but I noticed finally that he has a nice long stripe along his sides down the majority of his frontal body. Perhaps because I've only ever really seen pictures of Bredli from an above position, I never noticed it. Is that a normal Bredli thing? I can't seem to find pictures of other Bredli from a similar angle so that I can look and see.
