im back from holidays and was raring to pick up cassius and bring him home. got him form crazyJJ tonight (thx so much!) and brought him home.
i took a pic so i could measure him, quickly weighed him and put him in his new viv. he was pretty calm, with only a little tail rattling when i went to pick him up  - (just for the record 34.7cm & 25g)
i totally expected him to dart off into his hide and me not see him till the 1 week wait was over. well he did dart off - to the darkest corner of his viv  then my wife spotted him, climbing up the ivy! i spent the next couple of hours watching him climb & navigate the entire upper portion of his viv. after 30 mins or so he took a massive drink - whilst hanging upside down! it was totally fascinating. my wife and i were totally engrossed.
its pretty hard ot spot him as i packed out his little viv with fake shrubbery. i was going to remove some so i could always find him but but i guess i have a climber so the plants can stay in!
im totally hooked!! its amazing! pics to come
big thanks to crazyJJ & all on TCS  |

Aww,that sounds so cute! My little fella is always climbing his ivy and moving around the lid of his faun (until he falls off!)
Sorry to go off the subject but Loki is about 43/44cm and 14g,is that ok as it seems a lot different to yours?
Sorry if I sound like a worried new mum,but I am!  |

hes hardly been down from his vines since i put him in. he's probably active during the night lol but im not getting to see him that much at the moment
having all the fake plants gives him lots of places to hide! also if he poops or sheds i may struggle to find it
hes getting ready to shed - will keep my eyes peeled for that!
waiting a week is pants but i will do it for sure. really looking forward to the settling in period to be over! |

Lokis just the same,spends most of his time curled up in his plant and then uses it as a way to get onto the lid. Getting used to hearing plops in the night where he's fallen off lol!
Hope you get to have some quality time with him before he goes into shed. Amazing aren't they |

it was amazing i could see his little cheeks bulging with every gulp!
since then hes been resting/hiding at the top of a vine. dont think he has entered either hide yet. but he is changing ends of the vine so his temps must be regulating ok.
im hoping he completes his shed during his settling in week - and that its a good shed too. not sure how long hes been blue for - any ideas crazyJJ? |

| My snake doesn't even bother with her hides anymore! Typical cheeky little things; you spend loads on hides and then they sleep under the vine or in the toilet roll! |

i spent so much time and effort planning his little viv. the exo terra hide, the half plant pot, the partition wall, the plants, the stones and wood i brought in from outside (all heat and bleach treated etc) not to mention the cabling! and he decides to live up a £3.89 ivy vine where i can hardly see him 
im so glad i installed my led lights. without those i could not check to see him at all! |
