Settling in nicely

I guess a good meal goes a long way. Apollo was great to handle today. He didn't hiss, strike, or bite at all .

Re: Settling in nicely

Yay! Guess he was just cranky and hungry from all that shipping, huh? His tub looks really nice & I like your tattoo!

Re: Settling in nicely

Thanks Adrian. He ate a 6g rat pinky two days ago and his feeding bump is totally gone. The breeder told me he held off feeding him because he was prepping to ship him so my guy was a little famished . I hope he likes his new home. This is my first tub set up. I like it but I wish I could find some larger ones. He's in a 60 qt. for now. That's one of a few tattoos too .

I only have one tattoo for now as I'm still young, but I may get another one around my birthday in November, and it'll probably be a name.

When I had my BCI's, I used this tub. The bottom measures about 4'x14", and it's about 14" tall, the lid adds some height, too. You can find them for about $30 at Walmart around Christmas time. For a snake that size though I would recommend binder clips on the longer sides of the lid, just in case. I never had an escape with my boas, though.

Re: Settling in nicely

I'll have to keep my eyes open for those Adrian. That's a nice big tub. Thanks for the heads up.

I know what you mean Kyle. They're addictive. Bulls are great. A JCP or IJ is next for me.

Re: Settling in nicely

My guy Apollo is growing well. He's up to 275g and has really mellowed out. I cleaned his tub this evening and got a few cell pics.
