It,s all in her mind she had all ready convinced herself that something was going to happen and it did, once she gets over her fear no more rashes , any way thats what I reckon.

What species ?
Housing heating ?
Feeding ?
Escaping ?
What your friends thought when they first saw it ?
| I have only had my baby since Monday!!!!!  I bought a whole kit (cage/tank, substrate, bowl, hide, heat mat, etc) from the new local reptile store............... won't do that again!!!!!!!!! Coastal Carpet, only 9mths old, and placid (Thank Krell!!!) I have only had problems with the heating............. thanks to everyone here for the help, soon to be fixed!!!!!!!! He's approx 80cm long (is this about right for the age?) and i'm yet to be bitten, so I'm a tad nervous!!! (UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!!!!) He eats Really Well, and once out of the cage, loves to try and wander away!!!!!
Question,
When do I know to upgrade his food? He's having two weanie mice a week now, but for the past day, he has been hanging in ambush mode. I asked the guys at the store, but they didn't really answer.
In regards to friends......... as soon as he was in his cage, I had to go out and buy a lock, as my flatmates and friends decided to get him out and handle him!! Not Happy Jan!!!! 
They now want their own, and I'm all for it!

Weanie mice for an 80cm carpet? That's like feeding an adult human tic-tacs. Get him on full size adult mice.

You could probably give him 2 adult mice actually, just make sure he has a nice basking spot around 32-34* and a cool end lower than 26. Plenty of water, too.

Yeah, that was my other problem. the guys at the reptile shop said that he didn't need a basking spot, cause coastals don't really like it. Just a heat mat. (with a crappy theomstat) I thought it was strange at the time, but I figured smarter heads rule, but looking at my baby, and checking the temp consistantly, he Definately needs it!!!!! Poor baby............  So, first thing Saturday, back to give the credit card a heavy workout!!!!!!
