REPLIED to Info Request

How old is this snake?

How long have you had him?

When was the last meal?

When was the last shed?

Where is the water bowl (cool end/hot end)?

What is the temperature in his spot light?

What is the temperature at the cool end of the enclosure?

Do you see any black or red dots (and I mean Really Small) moving in the tank anywhere?
