| Deandre basically had to roll the shed off of him. Nikos head is falling backwards. We have been worried since he struck his tub really hard in December 2010, He is still eating, he doesnt always strike but he does eat all his meals. He is still gaining weight. We have not seen any Gastrointestinal problems such as Anorexia or Regurge. He is able to right himself and he does have strength in the bottom 2/3 of his body. |

| DeAndre observed very tiny tan colored bugs on the log inside Niko's enclosure. Even though they were NOT mites he decided to treat him with the 2% NIX solution. He took all the furniture and accessories out of the tank cleaned and bleached them and then used "seven-5" dust all over the tank and furniture. We placed niko in quarantine with only newspaper substrate water bowl and hide. We will leave him in quarantine for 2 weeks. |

| Comments | Feeding behavior |
| After eating we noticed Niko trying to eat himself. He kept biting himself down around his abdominal area for about an hour after he ate. Deandre had posted a thread on retailboa.com and people responded by telling us this could be a normal feeding response because Niko could still be smelling the mouse....He did not harm himself at all and there were no wounds. |
