So... Dean ate! I offered the mouse,and was going to set it down and leave him alone like last time but he struck and wrapped it before it was even in the tank :P He finished that one so offered a second and he struck and wrapped. I thought I might as well offer a third but he wanted nothing to-do with it lol Literally touched it with his snoot and glided by trying to escape. Progress though! I offered with my hands and not the tongs since the tongs scare him

So I was looking for snake poops in Deans cage yesterday and I found some! Except that I stuck my hand in it :zerb: I really wish I could use paper towels or even newspaper so I could spot poos and pees. Could I use paper towel or newspaper for my tank?

Dean ate his first hopper tonight!! Left quiet a lump in the little dude lol Took him a little bit to get it down but he wanted it! Took him all of two seconds to have struck and wrapped it :D

Use a spare set of 10" tweezers marked so I don't confuse the two. Makes picking up solid waste a breeze.

So,I'm pretty sure Dean is in shed! Dull colors,blue eyes :)
Plus random Dean pics :)

So I was watching popping videos and decided to try it on Dean. I'm not even sure if I did it right but I didn't see any hemipenes and it looked like Dean is female :O

Sorry for the picture. I was trying to take a picture by myself and trying not to hurt Dean(Deanete??) If Deans a female I don't know if I want to change its name or not

Couldn't help myself. Here's a Dean pic

wish i could help you more; i've never popped anyone! hopefully someone more experienced can chime in to help! [emoji3]

Im actually pretty sure I was doing it wrong so I watched more videos and tried again(Pretty sure I did it right that time) and still no hemipenes.

Not popped right - that's just the bum-hole. :oops:

Have a look at this page.

Just like to exercise a bit of caution here. It's really easy to hurt or damage your snake if you don't know how to properly probe/pop or have not done it before. Watching videos and reading guides is great for expanding your knowledge but applying it is different all together.


This is something that's better to have someone with experience do it for you or show you how. So be careful.

I almost want to make a new thread lol. I've congested this one with so many convosation posts. Anyways just wanted to share Dean had his first shed! Almost full except for the head because my humidity was too low, but after a mist the shed was full and beautiful!

Quick Update on Dean-He hadnt ate for the last two feedings since he was in shed but I offered yesterday because he was out and about with his snoot pokin around :P And he struck faster than I could put the mouse in the tank! Currently hiding in his hot hide

Hey guys. I was wondering if Dean looked a bit skinny to you? Not sure if you can tell. That's a normal pencil by the way, for size reference.

the body looks triangular in shape, but for youngin's that's typical. tho he could use a couple good meals.

as long as he's still eating regularly, he'll fill out before you know it.

Hey guys! So for X-mas i got a temp gun and a scale (yay!) and weighed dean as soon as he pooped. He weighed 101 grams and is currently eating hoppers.

Random thought... Dean almost looks like an Enchi morph with those clean black bands. Very nice scales! [emoji1360]

He does have a very pretty pattern. :)
