Welcome!! Both beautiful animals you've got there!!

Tell me, is your Irian Jaya very flighty/bitey??

Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to your pics when you get it figured out. I usually need the help of my 14 year old who has helped me with that stuff since he was seven and I still haven't figured it out on my own. As an engineer you should have better luck than I!!!

Nice to have you!

Here are some pics. Sorry for the delay. In response to Blind, our carpet, which we're calling Eerie (original I am not), isn't bitey at all. I might have had her spooked after having to dig her out of my couch (I swore I could still feel her on me but she snuck into the back of the couch). She didn't try biting or anything but she did **** back in what might have been preparation to strike. I held her at the shop I bought her from (Arizona Reptile Center) and she was very docile. It was when I held an adult at the same shop that I decided to buy her. She likes to explore when being held, but it doesn't seem like she's flighty; it's one of the things I like the most about the carpets.

I'm feeding her a hopper mouse once a week, but am thinking of switching to rat fuzzies. Anyone have some advice on feeding her? I'm worried she's not getting enough.

Our beardie, which we're calling Fyre, was the runt of three beardies at the same store in Phoenix. She has some red in her and cost a little bit more than a regular beardie ($15 or so). The others in her tank were obviously her siblings and more active than she was. She didn't eat much the first couple of days we had her (we're not sure if it's a her or a he really yet) but she's eating fairly well now and getting quite the belly on her.

Nice carpet - our JCP is eating a rat approx 2 times the width of his body every 14 days. He chomps it down and looks for more, i am pretty sure if i put a large rabbit in with him he would have a damn good go at eating it!
