Back in the saddle again

Peaches had her 1st shed with me. She’s sweet and pretty, and I love her already! I was a bit surprised that she weighed 700g, although she might not be fully empty. She only pooped once before she went into shed. She arrived on June 9, and was 427g at that time. So it’s not quite two months yet. That seems like a significant increase. I’ve been feeding her every 7-10 days. It’s been 17 days since her last meal, so I’ll feed her again tonight.

It's been such a long time since I've had a new snake...you're making me remember just how much fun it is to watch them grow up. :D

I haven’t had a new snake in 8 years. It’s exciting and fun raising up another young one. The others are all very well established, so I pretty much know what to expect from them.

Especially getting to figure out their personality, while they grow big & healthy under our excellent care. It never gets old. :cool:

Got some photos of Peaches today. She seems to be doing well. She’s been hanging out in her water bowl the last couple of days so I double checked my temps, and looked her over really well for mites. Everything looks great, so I’m just chalking it up to new behavior. I’ll keep a close eye on her though.

She's looking great- let's HOPE it's not mites (& it probably isn't).

I think the mystery of the soaking boa has been solved. I just woke up and saw that she dumped a big deuce in her water bowl. I sanitized it and put it back.

I also revised her current weight down to 655g after weighing her empty this morning.
