Did your lyres take unscented mice right off the bat? What kind of longevity and growth rate did you notice with yours?

Ever since mine took his first unscented, he has not required any additional scenting and has been readily taking his weekly rodent meal. He does not seem to be a fast grower. But, he's turned into an easy keeper and an interesting addition.

I feed him mostly pre-killed or frozen/thawed, but when I have offered live, he does constrict. Although I don't handle him much, he seems to tolerate it well and has never threatened or tried to bite (I thought I read somewhere that they were "nippy"?). He does a great tail buzz when disturbed.
