It's been a while since I posted--my boys have grown like crazy and they're doing so well!
Nigel is my big fat baby and he's up to 474g. He is the nicest, most docile snake--he'll happily hang around my neck and watch as I clean his tub, read a book, whatever. He eats like a pig, sheds like a dream, and is in general a doll.
Stan is the super pastel I got from Justin Kobylka, and he's beautiful--even more so after his last shed. He took a while to feel comfortable eating, but switched to f/t with very few hiccups and eats well now. He was 293g when he got here at the end of February and is up to 343g now. He was shy at first, but much better now and is another "neck snake!"
Finally, we have Jack the bumblebee, from Garrick DeMeyer at Royal Constrictor Designs. He was such a tiny guy when he got here, very shy and snappish, and was the most difficult to feed. I actually had to live-feed him four times before I could switch him to f/t, but it was a great triumph for me when he finally went for it! He's got a little bit of spider wobble, but it doesn't slow him down at all and he's gotten so much better about being handled--by ME. He can't stand my husband and goes into striking mode whenever he sees him! We can't figure it out, but he's a sweet little guy with me. He was a wee little 127g when he got here, and now he's 177g, so he's moving on up.
Thanks for looking!
