Victoria has her first quail!

So today I went to my local reptile food source and to my surprise, she now stocks chicks, quails and guinea pigs as well the regular stuff of rats, mice and rabbits. So her and I talked awhile about snakes and stuff and I decided it was time for Vicky to try a quail. Well she went completely bonkers for it. She hit that thing harder and faster than a fat kid on a Snickers. She then spent about 10 mins checking it out. Finally she ate it lol. Now soon as Rosey is out of shed, she gets to try a quail too!. Here are some pics of Vicky enjoying the new dinner.

Lol she's actually the smaller of the 2. Rosey is about 6.5' where are Vicky is 5'. And Caesar the piggy retic is growing faster than them both and already at 4' at 6 months old. He is a stomach with eyes lol. Fed him his small rat tonight and after eating it, he sat at the front of the cage outside the hide and was just watching me as I was watching Vicky eat her quail lol. So I gave him a 2nd small rat so he wouldn't feel left out of the food frenzy from everyone lol.

Haha! I think it's funny how they all look a lot bigger in pictures than they do in person [emoji23] glad to know they're eating and growing well!

Beautiful snake!

Lol yeah, pictures always make them look huge. Omg, they all would eat themselves into food comas if I let them. Caesar gets a small rat every 4-5 days, now probably need 2 as 1 doesn't seem to do the job anymore. Rosey eats a rabbit or large rat every 2-3 weeks. Luna eats a small mouse every 7-10 days. Dottie eats a small rat every week. Vicky eats a medium rat every 2-3 weeks and Allison eats 2 large mice every week since I cant get her switched to rats so I guess i'm stuck with a mouser. Good thing she is small lol. it's like a small fortune feeding these guys. They are worse than human kids lol.

Good to see that Vicky had no problems sliding that quail down. :)

Man with that feeding schedule for all of the gang you are going through some quantity there. There are really some substantial cost savings buying online. Not only that, but the gas and hassle going to the pet store.

Yeah I know lol. I need to just buy a little chest freezer and slap an order into Layne labs or Big Cheese.

She is GORGEOUS.
