Thanks man. She's growing quick it seems. Definitely faster than Cornell. They're both on rat fuzzies still, too. She must be snacking when I'm not looking. :confusd:

Maybe the pic makes her look bigger. Sally Jo and Charlotte are both on rat fuzzies too, though Charlotte turns two in a few weeks. Think she had 23 meals in her life before she got here. Doing great though.

She'll be moving up soon I think. She's floating just under 150 grams as of last week. She arrived less than 9 months ago at 35g.

Kev was about 2.5 years when I got him and he will be 3 in September. I have him on large rats and he’s taking them easily. First one took him a bit but now he makes quick work of them.

He’s smaller than I expected at almost 3.

Wallace, my old retic was fed very lightly, actually about the same as Kevin and he grew like a weed.

Each animal has its pace obviously and retics are rapid growers.

Bredli are said to be fairly quick growers too.

Yours looks great.

I tried to explain to her that growing up is a trap, but she doesn't seem to listen, hahahhaha.

A few new pics of Fernie girl.

Thanks!!! I'm trying to get some good pics before fall inevitably rolls around.

Fernie turned one year old yesterday, but I was out of commission with a migraine. Uggggh.
So I didn't get to celebrate with her yesterday (good thing she doesn't know) and today I'm in recovery mode so I didn't feel like going outside in the heat and humidity, so no new pics. But I'm hanging out with her as I type this. She's sweet as can be and growing quickly. Pics to come...

:fest2:Happy "Birthday" Fernie! :fest:

Happy late Birthday Fernie!

Hope you are feeling much better Craig. And don’t wake that migraine back up! I hate when that happens. :(

Thanks Dave😁

ONE is the beginning of the fun!

By then, carpets have some size and can start to take the larger meals.

Bummer about the migraine man, I think those that suffer from them get completely knocked out of commission. No light, no sounds, nothing.

I'm glad you were able to ride it out though.

HBD to a pretty little Bredli!

A day late : )

Thanks man. Luckily this migraine wasn't too bad. They can be pretty brutal though.

Fernie took her first adult mouse last week with no problem at all. She should put on some decent size now.

Happy Hatch Day Fernie! Glad you're feeling better Craig. Those migraines can be brutal!

Fernie digesting. She's got three adult mice down now and handles the 18-19 grammers with ease.

Thanks Gio! She seems to be getting just a little more orange coloration in and around her face, and a bit darker in the tail area. Not a ton of change that I see. Fine by me, I love her chocolate browns.

She weighed 155 grams after shedding and emptying out. Something tells me she'll hit 200 pretty quickly now though.

For a "normal" which I love, she's exceptionally pretty.

I'm sure she'll hit a big growth spurt very soon.

She's one of the reasons I went for the species. I've always had and interest but your girl got me more interested.

Thanks man. I happen to love how most "normals" look anyway, just the way the were created.

I'm so glad I took the leap. She's so easy!!! She's as placid as a BP and has been for months. I often joke that I could grab my BP, Tyson, out of his enclosure blindfolded. Fernie is already the same way. She is the epitome of chill, not headshy in the least, never even shows the faintest glimmer of stress or aggression. I'm looking forward to some great years with her.

Same here brother. Normal is my gig.
I actually asked Nick for a normal but he said this guy (Kevin) would easily accommodate to one of my large cages. And it was the offer I couldn’t refuse.

I love when Bredli darken up.

Fernie's looking great Craig. I had a feeling you'd really like Morelia. I know your girl is 155g and adult mice are cool but I think you should give her bigger meals at least occasionally. I was feeding my carpets 18g meals when they were 85g. I fed my coastal his first jumbo mouse when he was 140g. I'm all for the slow growth approach with my boas. Pythons and colubrids are a little different. I feed them fairly heavily for the first 2 years and then I dial them back. You'll see that much of their food intake goes towards their growth. I also look at their poop sizes. Big poops mean more excess. Smaller poops mean they retained more of those meals. My Olive would take large meals but have small poops and it was all healthy growth. You've seen my adult carpets as well. I'm not saying you should change anything just sharing my 2 cents. :)

Oh I've got bigger here for her. I just figured I'd stick to a few of the smallest in the bag to get rid of them. I've got a few more small ones for Cornell saved up. He's got one more rat fuzzy I might as well feed off. He's prob 130 grams, maybe a hair more.

Unfortunately, this bag of mice came in really small. I was disappointed with the order. But oh well. I've gotta place a prey order in a few weeks so I'll be stocking up.

I appreciate the info my friend. They'll be getting bigger meals :gj:

It was a beautiful day today, so Fernie and I chilled outside for a bit. I wasn't really in picture mode but couldn't resist snapping a few...

Looks like she’s asking for seconds! Or after seeing another thread, that last pic is really the first?

I just realized the pics are in reverse order...

She was hanging out the front of her enclosure looking for her meal. The perched pic is the following night digesting.

I swear Tapatalk hates me lately.

Here are a few from the past few days...

Looking great.

I was just going to post on Behira's thread about how much I post of her! For me, it's part sharing, but also, this site lets me keep a record of her throughout her life.

Bottom line: Keep posting!

Getting the workout in!

Looking great in the sun.

Fernie wasn't all that cooperative today, apparently not feeling like modeling, but I still got a few good shots.

Halloween Orange!

It's a Bredli time of year.

Happy one year anniversary, Fernie!!!! I can't believe she's already been here a whole year!!!! She arrived at 35 grams and as of the other day she's now 222 empty. I won't bother gushing over her, you all already know how much I love this girl, hahaha.

Ok, I'm going to break this up into a few posts because Tapa loves messing up my photos.

Here are the before and after pics I tried to recreate. Fernie was a bit restless though, so I did the best I could. Not the greatest photos. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...989b0edfb3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...57a7d7ef49.jpg

Uggggghhh....see what I mean?? I select two different photos and it gets rid of one and doubles up the other.

And before you break my stones, yes I'm sure I'm selecting different photos :rofl:
