    Another Big Night.
    I'm not sure what has change, but my girl, Jewel is really coming around.

    She's 5 years old and has taken a renewed interest in feeding.

    Here comes the growth!

    She has been so on and off in the past that F/T wasn't always an option. I have had to feed live at times, but tonight, she blasted the F/T large rat and this is her 3rd meal in a short amount of time.

    She seems to be competing for the attention the retic has gained.

    FYI, the second photo is more true. The enhanced first picture makes her look a lot more yellow. She isn't yellow at all.

    Its unreal!!

    She's postured up again, like the retic looking for another meal.

    Personalities change in people, I guess she's a snake that finally enjoys eating.

    We'll see who ends up my longest snake by next summer. Wallace is slowing and Jewel seems to be just kicking into another gear.
    same but different:

    Good to hear Gio! There is nothing more frustrating than one of our snakes not wanting to feed. Then we start questioning our abilities, our temps, humidity, etc.

    I love this snake!

    It's taken her 4 years to become the eater I wanted from the beginning, but now she's ALWAYS looking for food.

    I may actually end up with a pretty darn large coastie!!


    I do give her some credit for getting me into the smaller retics though.

    I was not happy with her eating style for a long time and felt the need for something equal to what my boa was giving me along the lines of feeding.

    Now I have 3 snakes that hit it hard, and of course,,,,,, the royal python, which is truly a pet rock. A good pet rock though!!
