Coffee Bean progression thread

moved her into her 15qt tub today and she already ate for me [emoji4]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f6cb341c4b.jpg

Don't you love it !!!

My little one did the same thing. And she was on live before I got her. Took FT in a nano second and has never slowed down.

Your little one is going to be a JOY to be around and so pretty, too !!

Coffee was on live, too!!! i had to heat up the mouse twice and she was a little slow to poke her snoot out, but she took it! i've never had a new addition eat so soon (besides Corny lol)! and to think i changed her whole setup just hours ago.

i am a VERY happy mom!!! [emoji3]

So awesome! Pretty little girl!

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I smiled. Yay Coffee Bean won the name vote!!

i was so happy she ate, and kinda surprised! a little while after i moved her i went to check on her temps; i lifted the fabric draped over the tub and she was out and struck at the side! i figured she had to be hungry, so i saw the opportunity and thankfully i was right!!! after she ate she sat on top of her warm hide like she was waiting for more!

omg so tiny and cute. so smoll even compared to the the small RBI hide. :P

also congrats on a successful feed!

Me too :gj:

so i'm about to leave home and be away for ~36hrs and decides to check on everyone. i checked on Coffee Bean and she's in blue! i was so excited, her colors are so dull and i decided to pull her out for a quick photo.

SHE. WAS. NOT. HAPPY. snappy, snappy, snappy!!! almost got my finger; i felt her lil teeth and she left the TINIEST, TINIEST mark. i actually can't even properly photograph it. i tried to power through it but she kept lunging at anything close! i've never had a snake be so snappy! i just put her away but she was all ready to throw down. it took almost a minute to her her hide back over her.

my poor little blue baby!!! i'm sorry, Coffee Bean!


EDIT: the mark is on my middle finger right below my cuticle. it's BARELY there

She is no doubt ready to tag anything she can reach in those pics!!!

Deep in blue and an ornery little girl, but still gorgeous!!!! Thanks for risking life and limb to post pics for the BP.net world to enjoy!!!

She soooo pissed! Lol! You're like Indiana jones who likes snakes! You almost DIED!

i almost lost a finger to her, she's a DANGER noodle!!! /s

all 3 of legless babies are as passive as can be in and out of shed, it was startling to see her so worked up; i felt bad!!! i think she's just new and she knows she smol and feels like the world is against her. something tells me she'll be my only python who feeds while in shed, 'cause she has that 'TUDE.

Coffee Bean ate last night and i woke up this morning to find she had shed!

i took her out for a quick weigh and snapped a pic. she's 131g now; up 40g in just over 2 weeks! she's still full so i'll have to weigh her again for a more accurate number. [emoji3]
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d93503926e.jpg

last night i had Coffee Bean out for a quick weigh and handling sesh. she was not into it, hence no pics: very tense, always watching my movements, but never snapped at me thankfully. i put her on my blanket and made a lil cave for her, but she never explored or anything; she just watched me. i guess she still sees me as a threat, but we'll work on it together!

as of last night she weighs 159g! that's +30g in under two weeks!!! she has yet to miss a meal, and she'll soon be moving up in prey size.

i'll have to put in an order at Perfect Prey soon. i'm planning on changing Yellow to a 2-week feeding schedule with medium rats, and finally switching Coffee Bean over to rats! i hope that goes as smoothly as her transition from live to f/t, which was INSTANT.

I'm sure she'll warm up to you real soon [emoji14] She's growing really fast for you congrats ! And good luck with switching her to rats, I'm sure it'll go just fine

i hope so! since she's on a 3-4 day feeding schedule i haven't really been handling her, but i'm hoping once she moves up to larger prey and gets more weight on her she'll mellow out and we'll get to spend more time together!!!

She is secretly trying to kill you still lol

but i love her )));

Arjana was the same exact way when I got her.
Frequent but shorter handling sessions got her over the worst of it. During this summer I had less time to handle because I'm very busy, yet she is still very good.

that's good to hear. her personality is much more aggressive than my other two, so this is all new territory for me. i'll start with shorter and more frequent sessions next time i handle her (in 3 days; she gets fed tonight). thank you for your insight!

I shamefully admit Coffee Bean is my absolute fav of all your snakes and can't wait to see more of that feisty girl!

hahaha, sorry but i can't tell her that; if she gains any more confidence she'll probably try to bite my nose off! :rofl:

today is feeding day for EVERYONE so hopefully i can get some pics or a video of all my legless children eating! last feeding Spaghetti refused (ever since i bumped her to small rats she's been on/off) so i offered her rat to Yellow and he struck! super exciting, but that means he'll probably refuse tonight lol.

i love feeding days. :)

Is she still in kill mode? Such a danger noodle, being sassy pants!

she hasn't struck at me in over a week or so; she's not like she was when in shed. honestly i think she's just constantly hungry. last feeding was on day 4 (usually she's fed after 3 days) and she was half out of her hide with her nose to the top of the tub, waiting for anything she could eat like she was starving.

i really think once she has enough weight on her she'll mellow out, but i'll have to keep working with her too.

+10g in 7 days plus she left me a big poo. she's currently still sitting on the scale, flicking her tongue and watching me very carefully with her head raised. she seems fairly chill, well as chill as i've ever seen her lol.

i might take more pics if she behaves.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54748c4e87.jpg

EDIT: fear her
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8ccefe5c0.jpg

She is so awesome! Love the attitude too lol

guess who joined the bite club? (,:

despite this, we had a positive handling experience! i laid down on my belly and got as flat as possible, and within 10 minutes she started to relax and explore a bit! eventually she started to come towards me, and i stayed perfectly still. she checked me out for about 5 minutes from a safe distance, then moved on.

i decided she did a good job and was going to put her away when my touch spooked her and she got me. you can still her still posing in the background lol.

still, i'm very happy to finally see her relax a bit even though it was for a short time. [emoji3]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...09077c8016.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd246539dc.jpg

seeing her be curious and explore at bit, and even come TOWARDS me, was well worth the pot shot she got on me. i'm proud of her!

Hahaha... I think we all expected that loll. How did I miss this thread??

I will try to keep on this thread now, but it seems like you're making some really good progress even with the bite. Awesome job and congrats :D

she's also on a 3-4 day feeding schedule instead of 7, so that probably helps haha. she's definitely always hungry!!!

Maze was on a 4 day schedule when I first got her. She didn't gain much weight that way though, ironically? Weird. Now she's on 5 days and the grams just keep adding up. IDK my guy. It's good that she's a great feeder! From her 'tude that doesn't look like you'll have a problem with that :P.

(Every time I see her I just kinda go 'HNNNNNG ADORABLE' to myself.)

ps: i'm female. [emoji14]

Oop, sorry. I call everybody 'my guy'. Didn't mean to offend, won't happen again.

Thanks! I can't bother her until she sheds so now I'm just eyeing everybody else's snakes with my mouth watering. I'm dying. help. Lmao.
