And all 3 just ate for the second time with me tonight, along with Iroh, who has been on a strike. Getting them figured out. The orange is very easy, Yellow #2 is picky about temps, that mouse has to be exactly the right temp but eats very easily once that has been achieved and Yellow #1 is just a weird little frustrating PITA that requires lots of patience and multiple attempts before deigning to actually eat the mouse.
One bit of advice for anyone thinking of getting into these, a hair blow dryer is a must have for heating their food to the right temps!

I had always figured they could be a bit picky about temp. Many of the arboreals retained primitive heat pits and hunt more through heat than vision or vibration.
They are so stunning. I don't dare try to ever have any myself, I just don't know if I could provide the more delicate husbandry. So I'll just live vicariously through you. In other words, keep them updates a coming

I need to know their genders ... Have names for buys and girls but not gender neutral. Wish it didn't take so long to be able to sex these guys. Though I have had a thought or two on some more gender neutral names in the last day or two. Need to see what my husband thinks of them...

Thanks!
The littlest one, nicknamed Yellow #1, hasn't really started to change at all, but then it hasn't been growing much either. It ate for me 3 times after we got it, although it was always a problematic eater but then it stopped eating entirely and I ran out of patience and was getting quite concerned after 70 days of not eating, so one of our local friends took it, he has a pinky press and lots of experience force feeding snakes, which I was starting to think might be required. But it actually took a live mouse from him the first time he tried to feed it. He breeds mice and has better access to live. So he is going to get another 5 or 6 meals into it and then might give it back to us or might keep it, we haven't decided yet.
