The normal looking one.

The aberrant one.

Thanks Tom - good to hear from you!Tom Lott wrote:Toby - Congratulations on the subocs and your continued success with Senticolis. It should be interesting to see what happens as that little aberrant suboc grows - from the picts it appears to be a little smaller than the normal hatchling (or is it just my imagination)?
Thanks John - that's what it "looks" like to me too. Its sibling just shed yesterday, and I was hoping that it would have shed by today - this baby has me a little bit excited. I hope it is a male and its sibling is a female, so I can breed it to a blonde too...Jlassiter wrote:Sweet subocs Toby.
I still say striped blonde......lol

I have envisioned a very tall cage with a rock or faux rock wall in the rear - reaching to near the top of the cage, with hides built into the wall, and maybe with pull-out hide / drawers (somehow) built in. I have an old computer hutch I am eyeing for the project - but can't decide whether I want to keep a pair of green rats in it or a pair of subocs. Having seen them on rock cuts in their native habitat, I would be aiming for the same thing inside a cage - maybe even with tunnels / pass throughs from one hide to another, and heated, unheated, dry and moist hides available. I am sure the same effect could be created in a much less elaborate setup as well.
