Captive bred female spilotes

donv Sep 03, 2007 05:09 PM

I've been told this could be a surinam locale. This girl eats like a pig and recently I've noticed that you can see her skin between scales. I've noticed this as well on several pics I've seen of adult Spilotes. I'm debating on cutting back on the frequency of food but I also want this girl to grow huge. Any input from Spilotes owners? I really think she needs a large arboreal setup. Hopefully I can slap something together as the pricing on large arboreal cages that I've seen so far are a bit extreme.

Bumble bee rats. A friends young daughter saw this guy and came up with that name.

If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?

Not from the spilotes. Even on those infrequent occasions when they do it's mostly bluff. Now a hungry kingsnake.........

She looks like a Honduran or Guatemalan. Her weight is good but you could double her girth without hurting her.
