Texas long nose care right?

eatinmachine Oct 08, 2005 04:24 PM

I bought a texas long nose today. There were 5 to choose from from 2 dealers. One has been there for about 3 shows or months and it eating live fuzzies $35 ate one before I got there can see lump, 2 weren't eating one was really skinny$15 but would go 10 but he had only tried pinks with is and a same sized as the one eating not eating yet though $15 the same price he bought them for. And then two full grown ones $22 each but willing to go to 18 after I bought my sandfish from him, they were eating anoles but had only been tried to eat mice once and refused but wouldn't eat the meditteranean or house geckos. I chose the one that was feeding on mice that was smaller as it was on mice but was thinking between that one and the large guys. I got him to go to 25 for it and it had ate so I set it up in a shoe box with about 3 inches of aspen and a small water bowl, and a small flat rock. he or she is currently burrowed down. Anything I should change?

Everything sounds right. I have 3 TX longnoses ranging from 15"-20" that live in a rubbermaid container on newspaper. They ate some f/t anoles the other day.
