Sad part is that is what Caesar looks like eating a jumbo rat :( I was hoping Caesar would stay smaller but i dont think its going to happen. Like i said though, good thing he is mellow when he doesnt smell food. Kind of funny, i was petting him on the head today. Well guess i must have pet a little too hard or something as he got scared and immediately laid down in a like a submissive thing. I felt bad so i went to pet his body instead and i guess I irritated him as he shoved my hand away. Then he put his head on the litter dam and just relaxed after i went back to the computer lol.

And Gene's eyes are hilarious. He has like perma crack addict eyes hahaha. Vicky my sunglow gets the huge pupils like that when she thinks dinner is coming. That's how i can tell whether to touch her or prepare a glass door as a shield :rage:

General observation after Genes large rat on Saturday. One, the lump is already gone. Two, he's feeding response has changed. I used to be able to slide open his tub and he's eventually work his way out and rest his head on the ledge. Now he lunged at me when I slid it open. Strange.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a28b1fbf50.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f93053b28.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e44d9bf27.jpg

Probably hungry lol. Caesar's jumbo rat lump is gone in like 3 days and he's well mannered for about 4 days after. After that, when the door is slid open, he is out front like a bullet. It's also getting to be summer. I noticed all my snakes are much more active and 'hungry'. Even my beardie has become more alert and semi active(she has always been ultra lazy).

I fed Gene again last night, he is so lazy. He literally just picked his head up to grab the rat. It wasn't until I shook the :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: out of the rat tail that he decided to coil. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...01f4671546.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a38c44ec81.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9a4bc9daee.jpg

Gene is looking great and getting big too!

He's going to catch Caesar soon in size. Fed Caesar a jumbo rat 2 days ago and after he ate, he curled up on the cool side and i was looking and a jumbo rat isnt leaving much of a lump in him. I'm thinking either the 'jumbos' I get from my local shop are a bit on the small size this round or Caesar is growing more. I keep forgetting to weigh them.

And on a side note, Caesar dropped a huge deuce and i noticed he had a little smudge of poop on his chin so i went to wipe his chin with a wet paper towel and he wasnt into that. He tried to pull away so i had to hold him and wipe his chin. He did the usual thing of when he thinks he did something bad and just laid down on the cage floor with his head on the floor. I felt bad so i petted him and he swatted my hand away and then raised his head off the floor and rested it on the litter dam. He is so funny. Only snake i have that lays down right where he is if he thinks he did something wrong. Also the only snake i have who will swat my hand away if he doesnt want to be petted lol.

And grats on the cage shipping out. Awesome feeling when you know they are coming. I still got about a month left before mine ship out. And Gene is getting big. He might take off in size from the larges or jumbos. Caesar hasnt shed in a while after being on larges and jumbos. He's like the boas now though as he loves it when his cool side door is left open. He will sit next to it curled up or with just his head on the litter dam for hours.

Before I could even all Ally that they only shipped 2 but the packing slip said 3, she called. Told me the glass will be here tomorrow. Stand up company.

Caesar and Gene are so much a like. I've never had a snake the seems to have emotion. I k ow they don't but if I piss him off he'll jerk his body ad if he keeps my hand away. When I still pull him out he is all sulky and has more puppy dog face than normal.
