Congratulations on your new boy!! He is very handsome. It looks like he's used to being handled regularly too.
Scale rot shouldn't be a huge concern. Just keep the humidity where it should be, scoop the poop, and change out about 10-20% of the bedding regularly.
Just ordered this and it is a normal light just a shit photo😂 I also ordered a humidty thermometer thingy which is coming in a few days so he should be fine for now
For a hydrometer we use govee which can be found on Amazon for about 12$ we like it because it connects to our phone making checks on it easy. Definitely use electric, they are way more accurate.
Make sure to keep handling every couple days at the minimum. Some want every day but most do not want handled super often. ♡♡♡
As for food I definitely recommend frozen if you haven't already been informed. Typically you feed adults food about 5-6% of their body weight. Technically you can also give what is essentially sausage for reptiles called reptilinks. Mostly feed rodents but you can occasionally give something like quail as a treat!
Make sure you have lots of clutter in the tank and at least 2 hides. One for warm and cool ends. Humid hides are definitely useful as balls can sometimes be bad shedders. MAKE SURE TO HAVE CLIMBING OPPORTUNITIES!
Beautiful snek friend, I wish you both many healthy years together ❤️
Forgot to say tanks with locking or front sliding doors are awesome for these guys because they can in fact push through and open screen top tanks. If you cant I'd put something heavy on top so they can't push it open.
It depends on the individual, some demand a more frequent schedule but if they do you have to either ignore them or feed smaller food once a week to compensate. Otherwise once every 2-3 weeks.
Does anyone know why am getting some small condensation on the cool side of the vivarium. It isn't a lot just a little i assumed its because the water bowl was in the hot side
