Althea

Thanks for the words..

Limon eats several big night crawlers every day. I have been mixing a high calcium cricket feed with the worm food, and we catch night crawlers when it rains, then keep them in the food dirt mix.

I also have a dietary supplement that I roll a worm in once a week ( looks like a gummy when done )

He takes the worms right from my hand The kids love that.

He won't eat anything else, but worms are very high in protein, and the supplements don't cost much.

I maintain an ambient 80 degrees, and Limon seems most comfortable with that. He ignors heat rocks and basking spots.

He is very active during the day, and sleeps in the same exact spot, curled the same exact way every night.

When I first got him, the tip of his nose was rubbed raw, it shows in the early photos, but has since healed up. He does occasionally look for a way to escape, all snakes do.. but he has never rubbed his face raw for me.

As soon as I built that upright cage, he settled right down.

Oh and I mist his cage (more like soak) once a day with a spray bottle. The jungle has lots of rain, so I keep his humidity up.

Thanks for asking..

Regards,
Wayne
