When I got my BRB, I really thought that maintaining high humidity would be my biggest problem. In reality, the humidity has been a cinch to maintain: one sheet of clear plastic sized to the W x L-2" of my screen top and the humidity has stayed at 95%+ with misting just once or twice a week.
It's feeding the little pain-in-the-butt that's making me crazy. I waited 7 days after the first pinky finally disappeared - he pooped a few days later so I'm more confident that he actually ate it - after being in the enclosure for 29 hours.
So yesterday, I gave him a live peach fuzzie. I even tried holding the squirming little thing by the scruff with tweezers and repeatedly booping Salazar with it to try and piss him off enough that he'd strike. I thought baby BRBs were supposed to be so defensive and bitey that they'd strike at anything. Not this guy. I never knew fuzzies could sqeal that loud.
We're now at 25 hours and counting...
I don't think that I'm the right owner for a BRB. So far I'm not enjoying having him.
Another week, another snuggle buddy.
