Hello everyone!

I've been keeping herps for 15-16 years, starting with a couple of iguanas and leopard geckos. The two iguanas are still alive and happy, as is one 12 year old leopard gecko. I also have a bunch of hermit crabs, and 2 cats here. At my parents we have dogs, cats, horses, a donkey, ducks, chickens, birds (conure and cockatoo), and a ridiculously old chinchilla.

As far as snakes, I've had a little corn (amel) for a bit over a year and very recently obtained a female that is just over a year old. She seems to do very well with people, and after 4 days in her new home had only exhibited signs of stress for about 10 minutes total. This was just after I put her in, she cruised around until she found hides.

For activity, after that she would be in the warm side or cool side hide during the day, then at night begin to explore. She still remained primarily in hides, but would travel from one to the other, stop by the water dish, slither up some wood, but never seemed to be anxious.

Because of doing well and a possibility of her last feeding being untrue, I decided to offer her an adult (white) frozen/thawed mouse on the night of the 4th day. I put her in the feeding tub, and did the ol' "shake and wiggle" from some tongs. The new girl struck within 10 seconds or so, after showing interest instantly. This was (apparently) her first frozen/thawed meal, as she would supposedly only eat live. Her first meal was on par with my corn, who is an amazingly good eater. (never turned down a meal, never taken more then 20-30 seconds to strike) I was pretty thrilled and hope this behavior keeps up. (I understand that waiting a week before feeding is usually recommended, but it was pretty clear her stress level wasn't high so I gave it a shot)

As a side note, the entire time I've typed this... (and any other time I'm in the room usually) my corn has poked his head out of the hide and watched me. For some bizarre reason he's obsessed with people and one of my cats.
