Welcome Medusa
Good morning!
I know I have been ghost, I was just processing everything that has been going on around me. Which has been a lot. So fell of the grid of the earth. Also have been dealing with depression...but day by day. This weekend was the first time I had been out of my house since March. There was a repticon in town as well! I thought maybe I can go just browse around. Welp that ended up with bring home Medusa. My albino ball python.

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.

Thank you. I wasn’t planning on getting anything. My purchase was actually coming this week. I had my eye on something. But she spoke to me.

Thank you. I am hoping so as well. Prior to when I had my scaly babies. I looked forward to coming from work to spend time with my scaly babies.

Re: Welcome Medusa
I’m excited! Medusa ate! She had a rat pup! But she ate. Now come Wednesday. I can take her out for some play time. I haven’t held her since she was brought home.

I understand. That's why I have 7 snakes. It makes me pace myself. LOL.
Seriously, it's tough when you get a new snake/reptile to not play with them. You know as well as any of us that in the long run, that's what's best and you'll have years of fun with her, so no need to rush.
Keep up the good work with her and I cannot wait to see her grow and grow.

Re: Welcome Medusa
Not the best picture. The wires are from then hygrometer and thermostat. She was out cruising. She successfully ate for the second time, last night. And when I had her out she had a sausage but so I can expect a surprise in the near future. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ae7eea403a.jpg

Re: Welcome Medusa
What a beauty.
I don't know Kam, she seems pretty interested in working hard there. Maybe you need to look at yourself and not blame Medusa if work isn't getting done! :).

Why do they always wait until you clean the enclosure to destroy it again. Thanks a lot Medusa.

Re: Welcome Medusa
I had to go check on my fam because I hadn’t seen them since before this pandemic, and came home to an obliterated cage but at least she has new skin.

Re: Welcome Medusa
Welp, I cleaned out her cage today. As I was going to feed her. Got her cage all pretty and stuff and stuff. Placed her back in her enclosure. Grabbed her food and not even 2.2 seconds...wham! The hardest and fast strike she has ever delivered. I was like whoa...and had a proud parent smile.

I always wanted one but cost got in the way. But when I held her, there was no coming back from it. I had to get her. She has been a joy every since.

Re: Welcome Medusa
It is official. Feed number 14 is in the books. She went from a large fuzzy rat to a small rat pup! She now have a “I just had a meal” look instead of “I drank too much water and now I am bloated” look. The rat fuzzies were giving her the “look at from the side, do I look fat” look all while having a perfect 6 pack. Also I noticed she was cruising a little bit more than usual.

I remember seeing the first ones in Reptiles magazine with the full page spread pictures as a kid and it’s truly what got me into snakes. I thought it was the most beautiful animal I had seen.

Re: Welcome Medusa
I know it’s been a while. But I am happy to teleport that Medusa has had meal number 15. What I am not happy report is the wait time. Which was technically not all my fault intentionally. Long story short in New Year’s Eve, I was diagnosed with Covid pneumonia and I have been pretty much locked away from normality. 95% of that was my actual fear. Today marks the first day back to normality for me. As well as her first feed in over a month because I fed her last on December 27th.
To say I shed a tear or two when I finally saw my scaly baby was an understatement. Hopefully we are back on a regular schedule.

Oh, wow, I'm so glad you're doing okay now, Kam. FYI, that's not a great way to celebrate the New Year. ;) But getting over it sure is! :D :snake:

Thank you! I am negative but the residuals of it is kicking my but. But I am glad that my symptoms were mild and my greatest set back was the pneumonia. I only went out today because I am finally negative.

Yes it has been a long road. I don’t want to say stressful because I have been keeping my thoughts on other things. But I am truest thankful for getting over it.

It can take a good long while to fully recover. Take it easy on yourself for a while. Hope you heal a heck of a lot faster than I did. I've got a bad habit of "Oh I'm feeling fine now!" *does a bunch of normal activity like nothing was ever wrong, and regresses badly*
