Grif, I've been reading about de-chlorinating water, but haven't yet. I'll read through some posts and find out what to use for that. The second pic was taken just moments after I took the first pic. I just scooped him in to the deli cup and added a bit of water while I checked for redness. He's at 86% humidity right now and since he's kept in my bedroom with my snakes, his tank is at about 83-85 degrees without any additional heat source. Is that acceptable? Prior to purchasing him, I didn't ask the important questions that I've been reading about now. I didn't ask the last time he shed, pooped, ate, or other.
