I keep forgetting how tiny she is! It's so cute seeing them with an appetite! She's in such good hands <3

Thanks! She is super tiny ;w;. I can tell she's gotten a bit chubbier, but she's still just an itty bitty thing. Weighed her right before feeding her and she was 78 grams still, despite being 3 months in a week and a half.
Bonus: before vacation, I took her out to show to a friend, and she decided that my phone was the Best Thing Ever and would not let go. My friend was kind enough to take some pics for me, because obviously.... I was kinda... stuck..... lmao.
Mazikeen is so chunky! She weighs so little but dang, she got the chub chub going on. Loving it! (Note: I'm not aiming to power-feed her, or make her obese, she's just a lot thicker than she was when she arrived, and she looks so good ;w;.) https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...afwo1_1280.jpg
Mazikeen had her third f/t rat feeding with me on Monday! I've only fed her twice while she's on her plant, and it's the best feeding response I've gotten from her. Takes her less than a minute to strike, and less than five to get the rat down. Very impressive! https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...afwo2_1280.jpg
(That leaf she's wrapped around later collapsed from the weight of the rat.)
Today, she got to meet my parents, who seemed utterly terrified by this tiny, gorgeous baby snake. My mom touched her barely, then flinched away when Maze tensed. She's just a curious baby snake who wants to know what's touching her butt! lol.
Woke up today and she was very grumpy! She hasn't gone into blue yet, at least as far as I've noticed, but she's definitely darker and has the neck wrinkles, so either I missed her being in blue or she's almost there. I'm leaning towards almost there, because she's fairly opaque.
