Hey yall,
I can't seem to resist the draw of these Pits hahaha. I'd been looking at cape gophers for sometime as their natural coloring is just beautiful. There isn't gobs of info on them, but it appears their care is simple and keeping them just a touch cooler with a hot spot around 82 is healthy for them.
He's just a dead calm boy, and more curious than afraid. Tolerated some handling to look for mites and grab some pics. He's a good weight at 123 grams beating out Bellatrix who just weighed in at 91 g.
I'm enjoying seeing all my snakes growing but the pits especially have this way of looking huger and hungrier every time you check on them haha.
On a side note of good luck. I was checking out Big Cheese Rodents after all the good feedback I've been reading and it turns out they're located about 10-15 mins from our new place and take pick up orders of $25 or more. Sweet!
All the best yall, here some quick shots of the new dude..... I'm really stumped on a name for him.
