I know there’s lots of threads for MBKs already, but I just got one this weekend so I’ll add to the list! I’ve been planning to get a couple snakes at NARBC in September, but it’s been well over a year since I got my first snakes so I picked up this girl early to make sure I could get someone settled in and eating happily in my new quarantine setup beforehand.
She’s about 4mo and 15g. I got my other snakes as adults so this is the first little baby I’m raising, and I’m nervous about graduating prey size properly. But I know she’s been voraciously eating a pinkie twice a week for her breeder, so at least I have that to start with.
Here’s some pictures from my kitchen when I was weighing her and wiping her down with reptile spray before putting her in quarantine. She was perfectly well-behaved but I’m sure I’ll get snapped at and musked on when I start handling her regularly! She also has a tiny bit of nose rub but it should go away.
