Wow, I didn't even know she had a paradox spot near her tail, she was so balled up all the time. Wonderful progress! And beautiful too 😍.

Your choco-latte coffee bean is becoming quite the chubby little noodle-monkey. I still say she is biding her time to eventually eat you but don't take my word for it.

She is gonna age well. She seems to get more beautiful all the time. I can hardly wait to see her full grown!

she's learning that this battle between us is a marathon, not a race. LOL.
she's going to be a big, fat, and potential killer adult. [emoji3]

last night was such a weird feeding for EVERYONE (Pumpkin, Spaghetti and Yellow). i took a video of Coffee Bean striking but at the very last second she aimed at the side and bites on the lil grips at the end of the forceps. i was trying to gently get the forceps free but you can hear her teeth grating on the metal grips and it's a HORRIBLE sound. she just would not let go so i had to gently wiggle them free.
you can hear the metal against her teeth as soon as she pounds the rat pup and while i'm trying to get the forceps frew. i warn you, it's not a pleasant sound:
then after her "kill" she uncoiled and wandered towards me from inside her tub. i'm like ...oookay and i carefully grabbed the rat pup, reheated, and re-offered. she refused to strike; she'd stick her face aaaaall over that feeder and sniff every hair, but never struck. she kept tracking the feeder so i kept dangling, but eventually she like, raised up so high she got above the tongs. she ended up coming down right on top of the feeder and when i wiggled it beneath her BAM! strike.

then she did this for a few minutes...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dbfbf3ccf7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b13c9e1937.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ea2d73ea6d.jpg

Re: Coffee Bean progression thread
Still a good feed. I try not to hold my feeders right at the head/neck area any more, just in case they do decide to turn at the last moment. Eros, my Mojave, done it once and he coiled my 18" tweezers(luckily they have the rubber coating), had to let him do his thing before I could retrieve them. I now hold them all middle of the back, least amount of grip I can, that way when they strike the hit usually knocks the feeder out the tweezers.

she did this once as a baby, grabbing the tongs. i think she might like to strike at the side of the head. guess i gotta be careful now. when i was heating the feeder before filming she was almost half out of her tub!

Fluffy has also grabbed the tweezers. It was such an ugly sound trying to get those out. I worried so much about hurting him.

i know. every time i'd just twitch my hand she'd squeeze harder and i could hear her teeth grating the grips. i thought i could have broken a tooth. thankfully she came out just fine and with a full tummy. [emoji4]

she's growing up so fast. [emoji22] and yes, she's getting this silvery undertone to her and i love it! she's also getting some speckling from her paradox-ness and it's cool to watch as she grows.
i just love her. [emoji7]

i didn't notice any poop in the tub so the weight is probably a bit off.
i need to take a video of her now and show you all how she's changed. she's like a totally different noodle! i can touch her head and handle her just fine. she can be a bit flighty before she's out but she's a sweetie once she's in your hands. [emoji4]
