I will NOT ship him, I would've considered it when it wasn't snow weather here. If you live near Redmond, OR feel free to inquire on him, otherwise he will remain properly cared for here. Thanks!
I bought this guy for a hybrid project. He was offered to me for little next to nothing and was basically free since I was buying a high priced BCI from the guy as well, so he was just sent along. He IS wild caught! He is NOT friendly. I do not handle him much except for cleaning, he lives to try and get ahold of anything that comes near him, but no longer pops off at the tub when he sees motion. He has mellowed some being in a place where I am often moving around to care for my other animals. He is a light brown/red color, very typical coloring; I will provide images for someone who is looking to add him to a project or as a display for a store, etc. He no longer has issues shedding. At first upon arriving to me, he did not eat. Now, with a little wiggling, he will take a PK or FT small/hopper rats on tongs, but he is smart... he knows something is on the other end of that rat and he'll look for ya ;p
He is kept in a taller tub unit for arboreals, I have a dowel attached from end to end for him to curl up on, but generally he enjoys a nice coil on the floor. I originally used an extra bowl with a fuzzy rat in it to entice him to start eating for me finally. I knew without the bowl the fuzzy would crawl around blindly, and at first, anything that moved scared the ATB and he would strike madly. I decided the bowl kept the rat in one place and he could hunt at will without it approaching him. I used to cover the front of his tub for privacy, but now if he wants a meal, he'll take it from the tongs; so you'll know if he wants a meal within a minute or two, no more guessing.
I am not hiding his temperament, I just want him to go somewhere where he'll be of use and cared for to the best of the keepers ability despite attitude issues.
My email is [email protected], feel free to contact me for any questions and pictures. I'd prefer to find him a home nearby; I live in Redmond, OR 97756 and will drive a bit to meet a potential owner.
Thanks,
