    I am sure you are relieved.

    I am the only with a BCI who wraps their F/T prey, seemingly, forever? Behira will wrap for a long time, then eat like a pig. Seriously though, it's dead already honey!

    My BP will wrap for a little bit, if she even strikes, but start eating a lot faster. My corn, if he strikes and wraps, which he often does, will wait about a minute and then just want to chow down!

    Just an observation.

    Good luck with Roe - BCI's rock!

    Thank you! I am very very happy.
    Yeah! Roe will constrict for only about 10mins... I say only because my male ball python constricts his dead rat for about 30-45mins! :rolleyes::rofl: My other ball doesn't waste a single second though, she wraps and starts eating within a minute :snake: But Roe doesn't take too long lol. Thank you, and BCI's are A M A Z I N G!

    LOL - 10 minutes! I think my BP might do 5 - tops! And my corn 2 minutes max!

    Behira is about 10 minutes too, or so it seems! I thought that was forever! I stand corrected!

    I'm guessing you are feeding the snake a mouse every week? That snake looks pretty young. I would stick to 1 mouse every 7-10 days until it's about a year old, then one mouse every 2 weeks.

    No kidding! When I fed in tubs it took forever to wait for them to eat lol! Now they all eat in tanks so I dont have to worry about putting them back.[emoji6]

    Yes, she eats every Thursday. This schedule works well for me because all the snakes eat on Thursday, so I can thaw at the same time :). Ill definatly remember, her birthday is coming up this June! Thanks Sauzo

    Looks good! The only thing I would change is the placement of the thermometer. You'll get a better ambient reading if you stick it to the back center of the enclosure and a few inches below the top. I could be wrong but I think you'll get a false reading of the temps or humidity by having it in the substrate

    Thank you! I only use the thermometer for humidity, because I have a nice digital one :) I'll stick it there!
