Finally got Monty home! Gonna give him a while to settle in. But im going to the cash and carry and deck his viv out with loads of new plants!!!
Had a hold before we bought him home, and he is so friendly! He just wraped around my wrist and stayed there for ages! Took two of us to unwrap him and put him in the snake bag!
Not a great pic but best i can do for now. |

oh ok thanks! Ill get one of each and I will try him with the small rat first. As he is on the small side, do I need to feed hom more regualy or just once a week/2weeks? He is perky and livley enough.
Still got to get that shed off though!! |

The way I do it is 'roughly':
0-400g every 5 days
400-800g every 7 days
800-1200g every 10 days
1200g+ every 14 days
I wouldn't feed more regularly than those. |
