New Scrub - Very Frightened / Nervous

She's got plenty of reserves so she ain't starving. She might just be a light eater. Try only feeding her every 2-4 weeks.

Yea, I ain't worried about it too much. She is long and slender. I will try spacing out the feedings more. That large rat was the biggest meal she's ever had.

Man, that’s lame. My guy always acts like he’s starving and would eat anything that looked edible! How often are you feeding her?

She's had her head out of the hide more frequently, which I'd take as a sign she's hungry. And she was eating consistently as you can see, which is why I am a bit annoyed.

Oh yeah, I’d definitely knock her back to every 3-4 weeks now that she’s established. Has she been hiding most of the time or does she come out to bask?

She's still very skittish, so assuming I'm not near, she will have her head out of the hide, then she explores some at night.

I'm thankful one of my snakes always has a full shed at least.

In the water dish. Mites? There was maybe a dozen in there, but theyre like little dots, so it's hard to tell. This was the biggest one. I was eating dinner and have a crushed finger, so I havent inspected her yet. But I imagine if they're this small, itd be hard to see anything.

I can't tell if it's a mite but I really hope it isn't. Have you given all your critters a good look over?

Not yet. I ran out of daylight and I'm down a hand, but I will just have to get it done tomorrow. Not sure why mites (if thats what they are) would suddenly appear; I haven't changed or added anything for awhile.
