Fedex dropped off my Japanese Rat late last week, he fed yesterday for me and I caught him under the heat panel this morning... I think he was kept in a rack all his life and is still a bit insecure with the glass cage...the flash doesn't do him justice he has some blue starting to come in.

I'm going to get some more plants in there to make him feel more secure...

very pretty snake. my carpet python was kept in a rack for over a year until i picked him up. It took him a few months to really get used to a bigger enclosure and stop hiding so much

Nice, I have a Japanese rat myself. Wonderful snakes to keep. Her name is Sushi, and it fits. She has the smelliest snake poop ever! LOL, she can stink up the entire room when she lets go...

Thanks for all the nice words everyone! I've seen your pictures of Sushi before, I hope my boy turns out that nice! His poo cannot be as bad as my Blue Beauty...I hope.

Nice looking snake. I couldn't agree more about the blue beauties, whew. The larger they get, the worse it gets.
