What a beautiful trinket! How old is he? My not quite a year old female, Jem, is also a delight. Yours appears larger than mine. I agree with you that more people should consider keeping this species. Docile, inquisitive, good eaters, easy to handle--what's not to like? She is the only snake in my collection that I don't hesitate about reaching right inside of her hidebox to get her out.



As for humidity, 65% seems about right. Since I live in an area of higher humidity, I merely mist the cage once per day from when she is in blue until she sheds. If not, as happened once, she had a bad shed.



Thanks for sharing & posting a pic--I'll try to post a pic of mine soon!



regards,

althea
