Hi Bill, and everyone!
Can you tell me how you keep those and if you keep them alone or in pair? I now have my 1.1 and hope to breed them next year.
Thank's
Justin

1. Large cage 2'x2'x4' minimum.

2. Large water bowl.

3. 80-82 deg. F at one end of cage and 70-72 deg. F at other end.

4. Fatten it up with 1 mouse every 4 days until plump, then reduce frequency of feeding to every 6-7 days.

5. Most would say keep it alone, there is risk when kept in pairs.

6. Nice hide at cool end of cage.

7. Post photos for us to enjoy.

Thank's for your advice!
You have to post me pics of yours too
This is my meangreen 5 foot female.

I keep them like spilotes with a good hide and basking spot. I pair them only after a females shed cycle to see if she is cycling.
I keep them seperate so the female does not get cheated out of a meal.

Bill, did those differences between color are locality or what? Both mine look like your yellow but not as much. Maby we will mix our bloodline in a couple years...
Take care!

Most come in looking like that but fade back a bit kinda like the nice yellow-orange yellowtails that come in. Our domestic diets are missing some of the carotenoids that a wild diet offers. There are 600 different carotenoids but isolating the right ones for reptiles is the trick, quite a trick.
