New/First Baby

Postby netto614 » Wed Jan 22, 2014 2:39 pm

First baby just came in. He's sort of a rescue, so I'm not sure what type he is (or if it's even a "he). About 6 months old I believe. He's in the middle of a shed. And he seems to be settling in just fine.

They're not necessarily shy! My indo comes up to my hand when I open the enclosure. Yours is showing good signs by eating already. He looks healthy.

Then Halmaheras act a lot different than classics. :wink: I have talked to several keepers about it, and they all agree.. they are the diurnal vampires! :lol:

These keepers have multiple "Halmaheras" and "Classics" and they have had these animals for an extended period of time?

And what's a diurnal vampire?

Valley Reptiles, a women in a country in Europe (that has around 6 Halmaheras and 2 classics), a few different keepers on the BTSE group, and me. I never said anything about classics, other than say they are nothing like them, which was meant to be taken rhetorically (and a joke?).

A diurnal vampire is describing them that they hide just about constantly, but when they do come out it is during the day.. hence the word diurnal. :)
