Second meal here down the hatch. And this animal is an assassin. No nonsense, right out of her hide, BAM!

I love when they are like that. My carpet wasn’t and still
Isn’t like that.
Looks to me like an excellent way to keep
The retic feel without some of the other nonsense 👍

Couple more minutes of gentle interaction. Using her perch as a handling apparatus so she feels more comfortable. No bites but still a tad twitchy/nervous and likes to move a lot and quickly.

Will start to work with her more frequently now that she’s got two meals in her and has been here a couple weeks.
Having a helluva time settling on a name too. I’ve just been affectionately referring to her as “Little One”.
1. Charlotte Marie?
2. Matilda Louise?
3. Isabel Jane
4. Snake #5? Lol
Leaning towards Charlotte at the moment

She is a beauty Crook! Good to see shes eating and tolerating some handling well. I hope it keeps gets better! :gj:
I say we name her Ellie Mae after the beautiful lady on the Beverly Hillbillies. :)
Re: 2018 0.1 Brisbane Coastal Carpet Progression
Been using Gio’s “acclimation branch” technique to get this girl calmed down and it’s working pretty well.
Hook her out of her tub, place on perch, and let her cruise around until she fully leaves the perch for my arms. Then let her crawl for another minute or so and put her back.
Trying to let her get used to me on her terms, she’s not real fond of immediate and direct hands on contact right out of the tub.
Also, think I’ve settled on Charlotte Marie or “Charli Mae” for short. Split the difference between Ricky and Ziggys votes [emoji6]

I think this is my favorite coastal on the board. I'm not just kissing @$$. She really is a beauty.
This is the perfect retic replacement IMO.
