Lazy Layla tricked me!

She was having a difficult time striking accurately and missed about 5 times so I was on edge about releasing it right when she hits it.

This is her first rat fuzzy (coming from mice fuzzy)

She weighed 67g March 18th when we brought her home from petsmart. Wednesday April 12th before this rat fuzzy she was at 80g. I think I have been under feeding her this past month with a single mice fuzzy every 5 days. So I decided to order rat fuzzies to switch her over to from The Big Cheese Rodent Factory. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...db7cea7783.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...95cc5cfbde.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b2e84fc763.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...172352c50a.jpg

congrats on a rat feed, and yes stick with rats from now on as those mice would have been too small.

also I cannot tell specifically from the pictures but does she have a retained eye cap or is she in blue?

the video cracked me up!!! what a lazy noodle. :rofl:

Well she started about 3-4 days after we got her. Gave her a week to get what she can on her own but finally a broke down a got her a tub to soak in for a while and managed to get most of her body off but her head. She still has both eye caps and a chunk on top of her head.

I know, the wife and I can't stop laughing about it.

It really helps break down the barrier of the snake negative creepy vibe most people get and builds character for my wife and kids to see that their not at all in anyway dangerous.

i really liked hearing the kid(s) in the background: "what kind of strike was that??" LOL. always nice to witness a future herper!

Lol it actually was the Wife laughing, it's her video of it on Snapchat. Then ya my daughter "what kind of strike was that??". My 6yr old son wants to hold her sooo bad, but I'm holding off for a little bit longer to let Layla settle in more and get used to their smell

Make sure you get that humidity up. She has some stuck eye caps and even though they go mostly by heat/scent that never helps with striking accuracy. The more appropriate sized food will definitely help her get some weight on. In the future if it's not eating without hesitation I'd try to make feedings less of a spectator event. Some of mine are more shy than others and prefer eating when left alone in the dark at night. Congrats on the new baby.

Thanks Hannah

I had it around 70% when I noticed she started but I think petsmart might have made her dehydrated up until we got her home. I make sure now to keep it between 55-70% now.

She never hesitated to eat with all of us around and all the lights on which I'm thankful for. She has never balled up when I get her out and always enjoyed exploring.

Here's some pics of her setup now. Her cage sits on my computer desk in the kitchen. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f287018ad6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e2591fb1d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3497864b4f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7abef1c1d8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...75de65ba86.jpg
