She looks to be very well cared for and well loved! Love the progression pictures. She is beautiful.

Thank you! I do my best to give the best care I can :)
Today, she looks like ice cream.

She's looking great! Is she eating for you or still giving you a hard time?

Wow I didn't know they can grow so rapidly.

Pansnake (Love your username, haha): Well I've had to swap her to live, but I try every week to get her back on f/t using different methods that people have told me. And I'll be doing this for the rest of her life if that's what it takes to get her back on f/t. She had started to lose weight rapidly so I had to get her to eat somehow.

Spike89: It depends on how well they eat, since she was refusing once she actually took something she started growing real quick :)

Yeah I'm starting to think my male normal is done growing because he eats like a monster but doesn't shed much.

Yeah he's probably done growing then :)

So I got some really nice shots of her eyes!

Very nice man! Love BELS so much i just produced some baby ones :)

Thank you! :) And that's awesome! Not many big breeders actually produce BELs anymore, so its good to see more being hatched :)

She's growing like a weed now that she's eating again!

Oh I hope my lil guy/girl turns out as cut as lelhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/05/a2ajebyg.jpg

What a lovely baby! I'm sure he or she will be just as cute :)

She hit a massive growth spurt recently, she is 513 grams now! I think she was still a little full, as she didn't take a big poop just a little one. But still!

Well because she refuses f/t and eats live, there's always risk of her getting injured. Sadly, last feeding after she struck and coiled the rat was able to scratch her and get a little bite in. I am trying fresh killed last week. But considering, these injuries are very mild from what rats can do. Just take this as a warning, even if you are watching injuries are possible.

But, she is now as big as her future mate, they are both hovering around 600g :) Which means she should be surpassing him soon. She's only about three weeks younger than him :)

Those should be gone by next shed!!! My lil babies all have stupid scratches on there nose, from trying to escape the first day they shed out. Cant wait for 2nd n 3rd shed for them to be gone! I love leliana such nice white!

Also have you every tried FT (just leaving it un the tank on warm spot) by morning they usually will be gone!

Thank you! And I have tried that, she ignores it all night no matter what I do :/ I am going to try fresh killed this feeding day, then hopefully swap her back to f/t after that!

I love her eyes, and her belly scales!

I love her so much! Leliana is a very beautiful BEL.

Thanks guys!! Today is her birthday, she is one year old! So I put a bow on her head, lol. No tape was used, just balance and the patience of a saint!

Thank you! :) Most of the scratches came off, there's still a little pink there

Back to explorering for Leliana! Hope you can get her back on f/t.

Me too! Sadly, she had refused live the past two weeks. But this feeding day I offered her f/t, which she refused, then live. She immediately struck! So apparently to get her to eat, I have to offer her f/t before offering her live? Lol.
Here she is after her meal :)

Weighed her again to get official weight, I still have her on a 5 day feeding schedule. She still hasn't pooped so I'm taking about 90g off of her weight on the scale

XD I'm suprised she sat still for long enough. I can't get a good weight on mine because he won't....sit....still 0_o

Zeus will not stay still for 5 seconds when I'm trying to weigh him, so I don't really know how much he weighs. Leliana is getting so big!

Jeeze this is insane I have snakes like her and it's like "wow you were that small!" With progression thread it really shows!!! Felt like last week I saw her as a baby


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to tap her nose a few times to get her to hold still long enough!
She is growing so fast though, she's gonna be such a big girl.
And same here! It feels like just yesterday she was only 300g. It's ridiculous how fast time goes by
Here she is lumping around :)
