Ziggy Ure - 50% Hypo Bredli - Progression Thread

[OatBoii]

I'm here with some more pictures of Ziggy! He'll be getting another adult mouse tonight, his second one. Right now I'm feeding him roughly every 12-14 days, since that was about how frequently he got fed before, and I think it works well for him. I have yet to see him poop since the first week he came here, but I'm assuming that simply means he is utilizing as much of his meals as he possibly can.

I held him, very briefly, for the first time this last week It was mostly just to give him a look over and move him for cleaning purposes, and I could tell he was a bit nervous, but he was also very curious. He is slowly but surely getting braver and more comfortable. Just this morning in fact, he was on top of his left cork tube, and he has stayed there all day so far! Now that we're getting some spring/summer heat, he tends to be spending much more of his time on the cool side of the viv. I've been monitoring his temps, but if it gets too hot, I'll probably adjust the DHP down a little, or even turn off the UTH. He doesn't spend much of his time on the ground anyways (in fact I never see him on it at all), and it was mostly there to help combat the poor insulation and subzero weather we get where I live. Now that we're starting to warm up- although we've still got another solid 50 degrees upwards to go from here- it might be too much.

I'm working on slowly preparing a branch to put in his enclosure. He really likes to spread himself out across the substrate guard, and I think he would enjoy it a lot.

Onto the pics now. I got a new phone because mine started splintering, so the picture quality really went up!





He kinda just... splays himself out xD A display snake indeed, once he wakes up in the evenings.




Such a gorgeous little guy... He amazes me every time I see him
