Congrats Slackra.....I guess your lil guy is now settling in after his trip?

 

[SLACkra]

well hes here. he is smaller than i thought! maybe just over 2ft. he is definatly agro. imediatly went up the branch and is sitting there. wonder how long it will take him to find the warm spot. of course when ever i look in hes in a very nice S shape.

looks like hes going to be on smallish things like fuzzies (rats) or pinkie rats. his head is around the size of my thumb nail!

now all i have to do is find the camera!

also a bit worried that he might be a bit small for the 3ft tank, your thoughts?

Hi Andrew, When I got Luke he was about 2ft long and I put him in a 4 ft tank. He settled in perfectly, never stressed at all. I just tried to make sure his tank was as natural as possible, not over crowded with stuff but enough in there so he wasnt overwhelmed with the wide open space so to speak lol

now all i have to do is find the camera!

sorry guys camera is with my dad, whom is at work! but i assure you that as soon as humanly possible i will post pics.

i can't wait till i can handle him, i want to know how big he is but i would rather have an unstressed animal.
