Not particularly fond of snakes, but nature is nature.

I never went live for with mine, just frozen. If only it were as easy as plopping a frozen cube in a cup. No, I had to get forceps and make the frozen/thawed rat pups do "the zombie dance". Then she'd come out. ~20% chance she'd miss the rat pup and nick my hand--should have gotten longer forceps...

That would be great for me. Thanks again for your consideration

Would anyone help me identify the wrasse?

It’s hard to tell exactly, can you get a whiter photo?

It looks to be a female of the Filamentosus complex.

My first guess would be lubbocki from what I can make of the pic.

My first guess would be lubbocki from what I can make of the pic.

The fin shape and overall body shape is incorrect, it also lacks an eyespot which Lubbocki females hold.
As for it possibly being a male, this completely throws any of the lubbocki complex out of the window as most of them are white or purple with very colourful dorsal fins.

I learned the hard way with my daughters 4-1/2' savanna monitor lizard putting a frozen rat in the cage. I thought I was faster than it. But when I found my hand totally inside the lizards mouth, I wish I had used tongs.

Bringing this conversation back to wrasses, I don't hear much about the Orange Back Fairy Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis

My thought is that TSM has one right now. I thought about grabbing it but wasn’t sure how aggressive they can be, or not be. Beautiful wrasse though.

 

[Tcook]

Well looks like it is medium aggressive on Hunter's chart. Not risking anything that would pick on my vivien.
