Did you make the bowl? It look similar to my XL ExoTerra one but different colour and slightly different size? I ain't seen them in that colour.

It's nice.

No i got it from the shop Bengy prefab jobby

Editted to add: It came as part of the kit but i think it should have been about £12 but my rep dealer threw it in as part of the viv kit. (He does cracking deals and actually gives good advice)
I got the viv (new) the bowl a hide a heatmat a on off stat a thermometer (though it was a dial one) substrate three meals and the snake (when I got him he was a yearling about 26" long) all for £110

£12 sounds about right. Think mine was around £2 either way.

Very nice.

Yeah I think if you get a good one stick with them. He breeds all his own food so I can vouch for where they come from and how they are despatched. He has been invaluable with my littlun Xena who has had feeding issues in the past as he is supplying me with one day old pinkies that go down a treat. Cant fault him mate.

Until I moved Snickers to her larger viv, daytime, night time...neither made a difference this was a common scene. Now I find her only sticking her head out from under her log or out of her cave wherever she is at during the day.[quote]Originally posted by elament

Unheard of! during the day. With the viv lights on I might add..doing this...

Snickers has a lovely viv by the look of it and she has grown so much since your last pic its lovely to see Godzchild. It took Colin about two months before he felt confident in his viv. During the day he is quite often sat with his head poking out of his hide surveying the world but I have noticed the last few days (since he shed) he has been ultra active and is now as we speak checking the viv for an escape route. I can only assume (as I dont have enough experience to fall back on) that this is some kind of breeding behaviour and that he wants some snakey love.

Know I am a bit late coming into this topic Steve, but it certainly sounds like what Kellog went through - and it took 13 weeks for him to feed. On advice from these guys I kept him on his normal feeding schedule, offered him the mouse, was refused, left it in viv, took it out next morning, waited until next feeding day and repeated....every 5 days for 13 weeks!!

Main thing is to keep an eye on Colin's weight...he shouldnt be losing too much if it is cos he is horny as it is a natural fast - and that is certainly what it sounds like.

They do like to worry us and I am just glad we have the forum to keep us sane !!
