Yes, those things are magic - she went NUTS over them!! :gj: Unfortunately they're illegal here in California, and I just lucked out on finding a bag of frozen while on vacation (in San Diego). Hopefully she doesn't imprint on them, or I'm really going to be screwed.

How's Nerissa's weight (she was at 1970g in Oct 2009 if my records are correct), and have you dropped temps for the season? I'm wondering if she just started a normal winter fast. Some of mine are starting to fast for the winter, but I may be further north than you are.
Where I live, the temperature is pretty constant year-round... rarely drops below 50 or goes above 65-70. I absolutely love it, but the snakes might be a little confused! I don't manually drop the temperatures, and it's actually been warmer than usual this past month. She's probably ready for some lovin' anyway, so I'll start introducing the boys soon - my black pastel & regular pastel are both anxious to meet her. ;)
I haven't weighed Nerissa in a while, but she was 1850g in July, and her lowest recorded weight (in May) was around 1690. She was looking pretty thin for a while, but as you can see above she's a healthy size right now. Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread Slitherin! I'll post some comparisons of my other normals a bit later...
