Neptune is an odd boy. He seems to like doing everything at once... shed, poop, and eat in that order. He'll eat maybe once or twice a month, and sheds awfully frequently for an adult ratsnake, which I suspect is because he's such a stressball. He was even in shed when we first brought him home, which is why he ate for us right away. *sighs* He's healthy though, so claimeth the vet, so I'm not complaining! We're feeding him on Saturday now, so if he refuses Ma-tsu can have it on Sunday. She always eats, so no wasted food that way.

Ma-tsu is in hiding a lot lately... I keep hoping she'll lay, but it's hard to tell as she's eating just fine and being so unusually hidey. I pester her every once in a while just to make sure she's not hiding eggs where they'll dry out. Poor sweetie. When I life up her hide she's all coiled up and looks up at me like "Wha? Huh? Oh, hi. Huh?" And is so cute I just want to scoop her up and snuggle her. But I don't, cause she might be preggers. Below is an example of the cuteness I must resist on a regular basis. God, she's gorgeous.





Here's a few pics just before Neptune shed! Do my eyes decieve me, or is he actually using his humid hide for once?! He is! He's using it! And angry at me for noticing, lol.



Semi-soaking in a circle.







One shed and poop (in the humid hide, no less) later, he took the offered f/t rat! You can see the bump that was the rat here. I didn't dare take pics before it was that far down, for fear he'd get offended and change his mind.









Thanks for looking! I'd love to iconize this cute picture of him peeking out for LJ, but I can't quite think of the right caption. Any suggestions?
