Hi everyone. We bought Rusty for our 9 year old a couple weeks ago. He's been spending most of his time hiding so we've rarely seen him out and about until last night when we found him exploring his tank so seems to be settling in fine. We've handled him a few times but trying hard to give him time to adjust. This is our first snake so learning a lot. We got a 40g exo-terra that we've filled up with lots of fake plants to make it more "safe" for him and using UTH and a small CHE both on thermostat and both the ground and ambient temps are right around that 80-85F for the warm side and 70-75F for the cool side so that's looking good. So far he's eaten twice since we bought him so right on schedule and he had his firs shed since being with us a few days ago. Looked like a full shed too.
Could use some help with a few questions...
1. He's about 14 inches long and weighed 18g (before last feed & shed). Week before he weighed 14g so he's growing . I'm guessing he's about 3-4 months old. Does that sound right?
2. We were told he's a caramel morph from the local pet store we bought him at (not a big chain) but looking for verification so can anyone tell what morph he is?
