Let me know how you feel about it compared to the reptichip when it comes in

Eco Earth turns to mud when wet. That's the Coir fiber stuff, not the husk stuff. And yes, Eco Earth sucks, its dusty as all heck when it dries out and when too wet it turns to mud. It also packs down really tight if you have a big snake on it. Rosey packed hers down when I used it and it actually grew mold. Never used it again. That was when I switched to aspen years ago.

Thanks. I should have snapped a shot of Caesar when I put him in. He was excited. he sat on top of his hide looking out, then moved to the side of the hide but now he's done exploring I think and you can kind of see a part of him poking out the left side behind his cool side hide.

Feisty Phyllis being a dull miserable pile deep in shed lol. Must be hitting a spurt because she shed on the 3rd of December and went into blue on xmas day barely three weeks later. Also got a new phone with a killer camera so her photo updates should be crisp as can be! Looking forward to photo session after she sheds in a couple days!

Poke her with your finger and see what she does!!

And yeah I think a few of my gals are going into shed too. Rosey ate a huge rabbit and I think that triggered a shed for her. She has been antisocial sitting in her hide and she dulling up. Dottie is a nice shade of pink and being more antisocial than usual lol. And i'm not sure with Caesar but it looks like his head/neck is getting wrinkly. That's the only way I can tell with him if he is going to shed. He did get an extra helping of food last night as Dottie didn't want a rat so Caesar got his chick and a rat lol. And I even think Luna is going into shed as she is dulling up too.

So I decided I was going to get a Cow retic for my next snake and just forego the BCC as I am in love with retics now lol. But then I found out the price on them.....about 7kish. I cried a little. Also I guess there are only a few breeders of them. Nerd being the biggest. I did find a guy who said he had some for sale. Now I just need a go fund me acct and enough people to donate 7k to me for a new snake hahahaha:rolleye2:

Oh I also just got my shipment of ReptiChips and looking at it, it looks pretty much the same as the Exo Terra stuff lol. I didn't open the bag though. Think I might order a couple bricks of that Plant it/Grow it stuff too to compare.

Best headshot I could get one handed, she goes wherever she wants all the time, and stealthily at that.

The yellow coloration is coming in really nicely on her throat.

"That photo shoot made me thirsty, dad!"-Phyllis

Today's weigh in was about 1430 grams after she emptied about a half a pint of piss, urates, and an almost human sized dump all over the floor that she's been holding on to since she last ate 12 days ago lol. Longest she's held it in yet and hasn't been pushing looking for food either but that's because she was in shed the last 5-6 days. I may see how she does waiting until Sunday to eat, just to keep the same feeding day and to see if she will make it to an even 2 weeks between feedings without going all hulk on her cage.

Looks good. And yeah, we'll see how the feeding schedule goes lol. Right as I said, Caesar is happy on a 7 day schedule, he starts camping the sliding door that always opens for food. Retics are pretty darn smart. Phyllis is getting that armored raptor head look. I love that look on retics.

Have you tried quail and chicks for Phyllis yet? I swear it makes Caesar's poop not as stinky as when he eats rats. Plus he freakin loves poultry....well he actually just loves food but he seems to grab the poultry quicker when offered.
