Well, not a question, but an experiment of sorts. What I am going to attempt with my suboc and perhaps a pair of local kings is 1) for subocs I will attempt a Retes style pile of talos outdoors and try to simulate both a temp gradient and a less stress filled enclosure. I cannot duplicate west Texas in south Texas outdoors, but believe I can acheive a higher degree of temp ranges. That should allow for more choices combined with a few choices in substrate, maybe different results.

2) A varying moist and dry gradient with humidity being the target for these "speckled" like splendida from north of me, with underground hiding choices.

Most of my kings are very reliable eaters, and none have gone off feed, quite the opposite. The large male suboc doesn't feed often and only small rat pups, while the neonate female eats pinkies, fuzzies, and has started on hoppers agressively. I have a lot to try this fall/winter, and most of these posts have started the juices flowing.
