Thank you again for your concern. Just to answer your questions: It is a male suboc from 2009. I bought him about a month ago from the breeder who hatched him. I keep him in a plastic box with good secure hides on the cool and warm sides. Temps are 75 on the cool and 85-90 on the warm side. I build screen tops out of the box lids for my subocs because I live in a very humid area and the added ventilation keeps the humidity down. In my experience, the key to successful Trans Pecos husbandry is low humidity!

I've tried putting the snake in a small box with the mouse, I've tried different sizes, I've also brained a couple, wiggled them around a lot, etc. One thing I haven't tried is putting a f/t one next to a live one in the cage.

Cheers!
