First off i've only had him a week or so but from everything ive read they should eat every week or so.As of now he is in a sweater box with holes drilled in the top,for substrate i have news paper which is keeping the humidty in between 70% & 80%, the temp is at about 82 deg during the day and 77 at night.He is housed alone water and a hide have also been provided. im not really concerned about him biting cause hie misses more then he hits cause im sooo quick ha!!! Really just concerned ummmm the only thing i can think of that might cause him stress is my cali king snake is beside him (in a seperate cage of course)
