Welcome Medusa

Sooooo I don’t know if I mentioned it, but Medusa had been on a hunger fast since October of last year. I was starting to worried, which is why I started handling her to make sure she was still ok.

Well I am happy to report that she along with Melikhi ate on Saturday.

Soooooooo someone showed signs of hunger. Got her some food. And she didn’t eat. Next week I will try live. Which should be fun.

She's pretty! I have a picky one that wants a heartbeat, shes almost big enough we can try to wait her out to switch her to F/T, but I want her up to 500g first. Hopefully she eats for you soon!

They'll drive us crazy if they can! Spotticus (KSB) was also on a long fast - last ate on November 6 and I thought he should be eating after he lost 20 grams but he didn't think so. I finally got him to take a rat pink on Saturday. :weirdface

Some snakes can be sooooo frustrating! :frustrate And "most" of the time, they're okay, but it's worrying about that small percentage that aren't, and not knowing for sure which is which, that drive us crazy. :rolleyes: Be strong, everyone.

As promised, earlier today, I went and got everyone some din din. Which has been an obstacle because I had a TLIF on 3/14 and recovery had been slow and steady. But instead of a small prekilled rat, I got her the largest weaned live rat they had. Welp 27 seconds in the enclosure, Stuart little was no more. She even slid it in her favorite hide to eat it.

Around 10:30pm CST, I was looking for something in the shelf where her home is. Guess who slid out like, you rang? Well ma’am if you wouldn’t go off food you wouldn’t be acting like you are starving. But I digress. I am elated she actually ate today.

I think it's very clear that some snakes, even without mirrors anywhere in their habitats, just KNOW they're so pretty & so special that they can just get away with ANY-thing! :rofl:

And why do you think they're always sticking their tongues out at us anyway? Oh sure, supposedly they're "tasting the air" & all that...but maybe they've just been sassing us all along? :rolleyes: LOL (I think I'd forgive her anyway though- ;) )

Got up to go to the restroom and heard some rustling. Turned on the light and look who’s out in all her glory. Rare sight for me.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c2d4bfc460.dng

Thank you. I am always shocked when I see her because she never truly out and about unless I have her out.

Now that she is eating like a champ, I am going to bump her meal. She legit took this down in like 3 - 5 minutes. No exaggeration. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5a4bb1036f.dng

She's looking G-R-E-A-T-! :love:

While I was cleaning her cage today, I took her outside for a little sunshine.

Thank you! I am doing my best.

On this beautiful day in October. I cleaned cages. First up is Medusa. She had pretty bad shed. But over all she is growing like a champ. Love my lil yella bone.

She currently in a 10 gallon. I am switching out the hides and getting more clutter for her. Wish me luck! Oh and I have my eye on a pied and a mystic potion. I will be done. Three the hard way.
