I actually traded that eddy for an offer I couldn't refuse. I did however manage to get another baby TC'd eddy from Native Exotics. It's maybe 3/4 of an inch across I figure it will acclimate better to my conditions if it starts as a baby.
I believe in miracles. If God can help Moses part the Red sea he can help me grow an Eddy too warm
The boa is a beauty. He's moved up to hoppers finally but he's still got some growing to do. They're very aggressive but I can take him out to handle at night (lights out in a few hours)
The first plant you had wasn't "a baby"??
And 68F nights are far too warm, as Hawken suggested.
I believe in miracles.
I stopped believing when I realized no pictures are going to be posted.
(I guess im still halfway curious to see the current eddie.)
Also, If you dont mind me asking, What exactly did you trade for? The snake??

They're very easy to handle if you're paying attention and have reasonably good reflexes. Their strike is very slow by snake standards, and easily avoidable if you're paying attention. By distracting them with one hand your other hand can become the branch supporting the snake. Once you have them in hand they're no problem except to anything that moves around you.
I would never risk housing any plant worth more than 30 dollars with a live animal. Period. If you must house it with the snake, could you set up a cube made out of plastic with a mesh top to protect the plant?
It's been fine so far! I'll probably get a bigger tank soon so there's more room for him. I should be able to repot it if it gets knocked over right?
