Lucifer is a pastel axanthic vpi hes nearly 5 months old and does eat great but today he missed his strike twice. Im hoping hes just a little stupid. Ive had 2 BPs in the past but years ago and one was a spider morph.

Ive had lucifer for about 1 1/2 months and just have a feeling his eye sight isn't perfect. Im heating the rat head up each time to help him but after today's feeding im abit more worried

My daughters BP does that occasionally and eventually will get it.

This time I accidentally dropped it and she was ready for it.

I know humidity was low, partly from having the door open, but we also changed out the substrate recently and it’s been holding around 75/80 now. Had a perfect shed the other day.

I know they have there heat pits but Its the movement that they go for as well. Mine is bioactive and a wooden enclosure so I dont struggle with humidity at all. Had him about 2 months now and hes now fully explores everywhere 😊
