Rakota

[OhClueless1]

Just wanted to share... We got him a few days ago. He is still settling in but I wanted to post a pic.

I figured out the care sheet I had been checking on... I guess that one page was just weird. Between the things the breeder told me and care sheets and book information, I went with the majority vote of more humid temps. He is on f/t button quail at this time but has taken f/t mice a few times in the past. The breeder says he starts them all out like that and they all eventually switch out completely to f/t mice and rats and that if I have any problems he will help out. This is the same guy I got my first BP from so I know he is true to his word. He has helped me out plenty already with another BP I didn't even buy from him.

What else... His name is Rakota, he's 16 months old and about 27 inches long. Sweet as pie.
