hey everyone, i'm new here and I just had a couple questions. so i have had my black and white colombian for about two and a half weeks now. "he" has been eating every day around the same time and pooping right after. I'm not sure how old it is i'm guessing a couple of months. it's about 8 1/2 inches long not including a couple of inches of its tail that somehow went missing before i even got him. hes pretty friendly and enjoys being held for the most part, i usually feed him in my hand (which is why he bit me). he has a diet of crickets, meal worms, raw beef, turkey, and maybe a bit of egg as I've heard it shouldn't be a staple. hes in a 55 gallon tank with a (cat) dish which is pretty big. i have cypress mulch as substrate and a large branch which he surprisingly climbs on everyday. i have a 5.0 uvb bulb in his enclosure attached to the top and and a 150w reptisun bulb on the side because it melted the top wire screen when it was on top. he seems pretty content. also, i wanted to try to feed him silversides (i have plenty from my freshwater moray who doesnt like them anymore), would those be okay? any replies would be much appreciated!
