Well, here he is. He's a bit bigger than the ones I previously looked at so I might up the RUB size in the not too distant. He's alright for now though.

Sexed as a male, about 9 months old, just under 29" long, weighing 110 grams and eating 1 large mouse a week.

I've swapped names with one of my corns, coz this bad boy is without doubt king of my collection. So the snake formerly known as Baron von Rockula is now 'Buster'.

Introducing the new and improved Baron von Rockula...








My weights and measures tub, having his initial medical...




His home is this 18 litre rub, although at a starting point of nearly 29" I don't know how long he'll be in here before he outgrows it! lol




Am a very happy daddy with this very handsome young man. He's in his new home and settling in now. Gutted I won't see him again for a week now! lol

Off to change my sig again now.

Aww :) He is a looker but still a cute baby. Im guessing a bit small enclosure is better than too large and i think he likes the one that he has. My girl is 8 months old and in a 50 liter smart store box and i think its going to be fine for a while :)

And of course, the name rocks ;)

Congrats.

I can't remember how old mine is, I'm such a bad mum!

You should try switching him to rats soon if he's on large mice already :D

Congrats! The first picture especially is great. Good job on running the medical right away, it's a smart and responsible move. Also kudos on letting him settle for a week before handling and feeding.
