Althea--Thanks so much for the reply and the photo...Hoku is beautiful and, in fact, looks just like my guy...Mine came from Ben Siegal and is just a tiny little thing, maybe 8-10" long..he's already much more active and "wired" than my VERY laid back Texas Baird's was at his age..Haven't tried feeding him yet, but there are pinkies in the freezer and I'll offer him one this weekend after he settles a little more..



Thanks for the temp. info. also--I guess I'll leave him at room temperature and not offer any supplemental heat...He certainly seems comfortable enough at this point..



You mentioned color changes--I'm guessing that they lighten in color, the pattern fades somewhat and the green intensifies a little--is that right? It looks, from the pictures I found on the internet, that there's a lot of variability though--I saw some that were solid brown or solid grey...What's your experience been?...thanks again..Do you have anymore photos?
