Quetzal the Hoggie

[mazzy]

I thought I'd share some new pictures of my hoggie Quetzal, who I've now had for a month!

First off is a picture of the old viv:

That's it for now. More to come as time goes by.

That second picture is adorable!!!

I don't know if you know this or not, but those dial gauges you have in your enclosure should be replaced with digital. Analog gauges can be as off as 40%.

Yea go with digital I get mine from bigappleherp there good and not to bad price but those stick on ones really are no good

Thanks for the info, I'll look for one this weekend! I know the left one is lousy P.O.S., but the ZooMed one registers my house temps well. Quetzal moves around to where he's comfortable on either the cool end or the warm end.

He is so freakin' adorable! I wasen't expecting him to be so small in your hand. Thanks for sharing those pictures (and hope there are more to come...)

I am not sure if it is the same brand as Mazzy's, but Zilla makes something very similar. There are three sizes, you can see them here: Zilla - Where Reptiles Rule » Bark Bends | Products | Decor (http://www.zilla-rules.com/products/dcor/bark-bends.htm)

jaleely: he has yet to refuse a meal, although his feeding response is essentially "wrap head around warmed-up pinky and swallow". At least there's no hesitation when he bumps into one in his feeding tank. :)

Skumbo: I actually got the idea from a YouTube video where the owner fashioned a homemade hide from 2 toilet paper tubes crossed in a 'T' and buried it under the substrate for his hoggie. I thought Quetzal would appreciate the firm plastic hide buried under the coconut husk so he could make a tunnel that would hold its shape better. And he loves it!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
