I can't get over how cool the way he ate was. I mean I knew how they eat... but you have to see it to believe it! I was trying to explain it to my friends, they just don't get it! It was so neat ^^

Yea it is wild to watch them eat.No matter how many times i watch my snakes eat i still watch every now and then.One thing that my ball pythons (my adults)do sometime while they are eating confuses me.They wrap themselves around the rat and stretch it as they eat:confused: .They do this every now and then and its not because the meal is to large either :O .Wait until you see the "cigar shot" this is when only the tail is in view out of the mouth :cool: .

He must know I wanted yet another birthday gift! I came out this morning to see a nice shed in two pieces, with whatever was in his heat pit on the shed. It almost looked like a clump of mud. It's gone, and he looks HOT now that he's shed! :D
I didn't get in the best inspection of his heat pits that I wanted because I didn't want to handle him obviously, but it looks like it's gone!

I like that shed skin shows soe of the pattern, that's really nifty.

So he ate, and his heat pit is all better! It's a good day for mouschy.

Thats great!! I would still go to the vet for a checkup and keep a close eye on the heat pit.Also a HAPPY BIRTHDAY :fest:

Yes. I'm gonna keep an eye on it but not until Monday because he's still digesting. He looks so good and it's so hard not to take him out and snap away with my camera!

Yea they are pretty sharp looking after a shed.Dont worry you will have plenty of time together for the handling times :)

Looks like we have some shed stuck but his heat pit is in fine condition (had to switch his newspaper last night, he splashed water EVERYWHERE and it was like a swamp in there lol) so I'm gonna soak/washcloth tonight or tomorrow. Both eyecaps came off fine though!
