Hello. I recently got my first brb and got a few super nooby and simple Q&A. Please help my with alteast one if you can.
1. I've always kept it warm in my house(80-85). It just so happens that brbs like that temp. If I keep my house 80-85 24/7, does he still need heaters? Of is a 78-82f tank+90% humidity fine?
2. I just read that BRBs don't need lighting like other reptiles? True? If so, I might remove the night light but keep the daylight
3. Skittles is about 18in long and pen thickness. Unsure on his age but I would guess only a few weeks, right?
4.I feed Skittles for the first time yesterday. I read that it can be hard to get them to eat but skittles attacked the pinkie as soon as I lowered it into the feeding tank. Happy, hungry, or just a heavy eater? Should I feed him more if he is so into it?
4b. He failed the first attempt to eat the pinkie. He tried to eat it long ways. lol. Guessing he is new to feeding. I picked up pinkie mice, but pinkie rats might be a better size for him. should I feed him 2 at a time then switch to rats?
5. Does Environmental stuff effects his color and/or rainbow shine? Like food or humidity?
6. Tonight, He held his mouth wide open for a few seconds. Only did it that one time. Whats that about?
7. How many teeth do brb have?
8. He scares off into space about sometimes with head angled 45% above the horizon. Guessing that's a hurting pose? I looked up stargazing and that's snakes bending all about and looking up, right?
9.I normally grab him from behind but i grabbed him from infront a few times too. Which is better?
10. He is brown and bright gold irl but looks orange and sometimes red, in pictures alot. Is this all brbs?
Last one for now.
11. I'm so paranoid of RI. The humidity in the tank is 80-90, while the temp is 80-82. Is that fine? He is eating and exploring, so I'm guessing he is happy right?
12.Got any random tips for me?
PIC TIME YOU EARNED IT!!!

He curled around my middle fingers and chilled in my palm for about a hour while watching TV
