Re: Introducing Wiley

UPDATE: On the 12th I gave Wiley an adult mouse because he needs to beef-up a little...




Today (14th/below) he's already digested, a little more plump and even though he's still in a quarantine tub, the better conditions have drastically improved his skin and he's starting to get a nice little iridescence building up. I can't wait to see what another moult and a few more meals do for him

Re: Introducing Wiley

what were his conditions like before that he wasn't doing so well in?
He's looking better already.

I didn't bother asking because it was irrelevant, but I do know they were keeping it in with a 4-year-old Royal Python, which is like putting a shoe lace in with a steam roller. These folks had ties to a local reptile 'eduction centre', so I can't say I'm surprised at the lack of knowledge they displayed while they were here dropping the little guy off. The only important thing now is that he's doing so much better

Yep, and it only lasted 2 days, lol. He's a little under-weight but he'll be up to par in no time, I hope

Re: Introducing Wiley

As you can see, he's sure looking a lot better (below) than when he was brought to me 6 days ago.








The little trooper just had his 2n full-grown mouse in less than a week and this time I didn't have to play puppet show, he took it all on his own, which is apparently a first according to his previous owner. Go Wiley, Go Wiley! In a couple of months he should be right on-track

Re: Introducing Wiley

I LOVE his eyes....such a strong burnt orange. He's looking good, and I particularly like the head shot on the first page

Re: Introducing Wiley

I like the bold lower jaw heat pits, those are cool! Not easy to see on these guys usually. So just when you thought they had none.... BAM! He looks great Todd, don't grow him up too big too fast lol.
