Close tub..

Open tub a minute later...I just ate two days ago? I think you're lying, you should feed me.

typical retic mate

Lol, now to get him to stop peeing on me. He looks pretty angry in that first pic.

SnoopySnake · 05-21-15, 08:08 AM

Saw him all stretched out this morning and figured its a good time for pics. You can see how he's put on weight since he got here.

This was day 1, March 11.

Today...

And a couple extras.

Looking good Adrian! I really like your tub set up too. Is that the Christmas Tree sized tub you told me about before?

SnoopySnake · 05-21-15, 10:20 AM

Thanks! Yeah, it is. I'm actually thinking about putting him in something a bit smaller to see if it helps calm him down.

He wanted a kiss but his are too toothy for my liking...

What a gorgeous little one

That feeding response as soon as you open is typical, mine is very much the same.. However I'm fully hook training mine so no bites so far. ��

Is this a pure locale SD or is it a %SD like mine?

He's a pure Kalatoa, I'm hook training but he bites the hook too aha. He was still striking even after, just because I was walking by the tub. He's never actually bitten me so I suppose that's good

Nice mate, I bet he grows into a right good looking chap! The feed response is insane for 48 hours after feeding.. Keeps you on your toes

How old is he now Snoopy? I find that after 12-24 months they calm down. My two pure SDs I don't NEED to use a hook with, but I still do as it's good to work with them.

He'll be a year on August 26th. I've been trying to feed him a bit more too.

**millertime89** · 07-22-15, 09:49 AM

I wouldn't stress it then.

I offered food tonight after 10 days, usually as soon as I open the tub he comes out. Tonight he didn't even poke his nose out, I dangled the mouse in front of all hides and nothing. I found what hide he was in and lifted it to offer again, he striked and missed and gave a few quick defensive strikes and didn't take either rat. He doesn't look to be in shed and nothings changed. Any ideas? He's never not eaten for me...
