I thought that I would post some pictures of Zorro (Murray Darling) that I took yesterday.
I noticed that there was a few threads going around with pictures of peoples Murray Darlings so I thought that I'd just add to the list of threads  .
I took these pictures after I had put him back into his enclosure ( I didn't think to take pictures of having him out as the pictures were kind of a spur of the moment thing ) In the first picture you can see when I've just put him back in as he goes into the S position and then gets over it lol.        
He's doing really well now that he's finally settling in, He's finally started to eat reguarly now which is a good thing, before he wasn't accepting anything, and was eating every 3 - 4 weeks, now he's back down to either weekly or fortnightly feeds.
His handling is much better now! We can get him out of the enclosure and handle him fine no worries no biting or anything now, But when we put him back into the enclosure that's when he turns around and bites you.
Does anyone know why he'd turn around and start striking/biting you when you put him back into the enclosure, when you can easily get him out and handle him without being bitten?
Chris
