im assuming your holding the mouse out of view? its cool that hes not to shy to eat from your hand.

[The Snake Guru]

LOL...yeah I sure am. Ohhhhh he's not shy at all when it comes to food....anything below the surface of the water is fair game....and I mean ANYTHING! LOL

Man he is cute and kick a$$.

If only they stayed so small! I'd have on for sure.

How often do you feed him? And is it a varied diet?

Thanks B

[The Snake Guru]

LOL, well if it helps they are pretty slow growers...LOL

He usually eats 2 to 3 times a week, but always has live fish to go after if he wishes. Pretty varied diet, mostly consisting of aquatic Vertabrates fish, frogs,tadpoles and invertabrates like crayfish,shrimp, snails, squid, ect. Some red meat in the form of mice, lean strips of beef or beef heart....takes some plant matter every once inawhile too...but he isn't real big on that stuff.

he looks like hes a pretty good size, what do you keep him in?? they interest me, but i dont know how i would house it..

[The Snake Guru]

Currently he's about 8" along the back. Housed in a 75 gallon aquarium with a 3 stage pressurized filter system. Not sure what I'm going to house him when he get bigger but I'll think of something..LOL

~B~

when you say 3 stage pressurized filter, you have any pics?? is it like a canister filter, or like a drinking water filter w/ a pump, sediment, carbon, and a UV or something??

(im big into fish tanks so im familiar with alot of filter systems)

[The Snake Guru]

Sure do!

Ahhhh, well then, this will be no trouble for you at all, it's hard to see the 1st chamber in the pic right behind that cabinet support, but basically this is just a modified LifeGaurd system, 1st stage mechanical, second Chemical, and the 3rd tube (was made for a heater, but I capped the top and filled it with biological filtration material, when I move him to his permanent home, I will be adding a UV steralizing unit as well.

[Style23]

[The Snake Guru]
