I got this guy yesterday (thinking it was a female).
He was completely infested with mites and his backbone was sticking way out. He ate 2 fuz rats today with ease, and is just about mite free. This was my 1st encounter with mites in over 17 years. I soaked him for 3 hours yesterday and 3 more today in luke warm water. I also put a no-pest strip outside his box to kill those little stinkers.

I like his semi-reduced pattern.

Dave,
When that female gets big enough (if not already) we're going to have to pair these 2 up!!

Yea, that sounds like agood deal. She is a 03 and has been a picky feeder for a while now. I may have her up to size by the winter. I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with her, I was thinking of breeding her to an Albino or a pastel imagine the combos with a pastel. That should be one blushed out high yellow black back. But keep intouch with me and maybe we will do a breeding with them. that would be kool to get a super blushing brown/Black back. Thanks david
