Hi there, my brother has 1.1 jcp's which I am going to be looking after from now on, and they soon might be mine.

Anyways can you tell me some things, like humidity and what they should be eating right now, I have been feeding them hoppers at the moment.

I am also treating them for mites.

These guys are sneaky aren't they?
We have a large display cabniet for them, split in half and I was taking the male out and my dad was watching and I was like where is the male, he was wrapped in the tree a second ago, we look up on the roof of the room and he is climbing on the wires...lol....so he has freedom for a few mintutes:)

P.S - there 03's

Thanks

hoppers!?!? '03s!?!? Are you sure? The first thing that I'd try to do is get them on rats ASAP, as the pair I bought were on mice... and still are. I am having an impossible time getting them to switch over to rats!

Jungles are awesome and I know that you'll love them! Try and get pics up when you can!

Other than that, you're right, they can be sneaky, just like any other snake, but mine were able to squeeze their way between the sliding doors on the cages that I had setup for them, leading to the names Bonnie and Clyde! I also am 100% against sliding doors now!

You're gonna have a blast with them! Do they have mites?

Yes they have mites, but we got the awesome spray, works great!

We got them from Henry Piroun and he was feeding them hoppers, but he seems to feed all of his snakes small items.

Sorry I went on his site, and he was feeding them adult mice, but once I am done with these hoppers, 2 left I will feed them adult mice:)

If I were you I would DEFINITELY try and find a suitably sized rat and get them switched over ASAP! You don't want to be feeding 5-7+ mice per feeding as adults!
