I got Brian about 2 months ago, but haven't gotten around to uploading any pictures until now. He's a Nosy Be, however i cant stop thinking that hes a cross with another as well (A keen eye would be appreciated). I dont mind too much, he's about 6 months old and im really looking forward to him getting his full array of colours soon. As you can see hes mainly Green with Blue bars, however under his belly I see blues and oranges as well as Red on his eyes with a small amount of white around the tip of the eye also and white lipstick.
As I live in the UK I have him in a controversial glass Terrarium (90 x 45 x 90 cm) [1], however im overly cautious and a little paranoid about all the fine details in there so im sure all the conditions he requires are being met. Im fanning the enclosure twice a day because I worried about 'stale air', however im sure the ventilation is good enough with my ceiling fan on, but as I said, im just being paranoid
Basking spot is 85-90F and he goes to the same spot to sleep of a night under some leaves which i measured at 65F, though i use a ceramic bulb to make sure the temperature dont go too low of an evening. Humidity goes back and forth between 50-80%.
He's eating around 5-6 dusted gutloaded crickets a day atm, however there dont seem to have been any increase in the number he eats in the couple months i got him. Not too worried though, his poops are huge and healthy and his urate is nice and white. I tried to get him used to cup held crickets however he dont take much notice and seems to prefer free roaming instead. Loves the hunt I wanted to get him onto mealworms or silkworms to fatten him up, however he'll only eat off of leaves and i doubt the worms will stay on leaves (correct me if im wrong).
Think thats about it, any other info you think i require then shoot! Enjoy the pictures.
