My first pet snake!

Helo bpnet community, i'm new here
Just wanna share my new love and my first ever pet snake!
Her name is Spica and she's about 3-4 months old, Mojave morph.
She's been with me for 3 weeks already, was the most aggressive snake from the clutch, bit me the first time I picked her up but turned into a lil sweetheart after couple days of handling.
I think she's a little underweight when I got her but has been pounding on live medium rats and now she's gained a bit of weight.

yeap, medium rats

what exactly do you mean when you say medium rats? at this age, it's not only a grossly oversized feeder, but it should be physically impossible for your ball to eat a medium rat. exactly what size feeders are you using (weight in grams)? it could be that your nomenclature is simply off. at 3-4 months, you should be feeding rat crawlers/rat pups.

nice looking mojave though.

well i guess its somewhere between small to medium size.
i dont have a weighing tool yet, but its about the same size of the bp's widest girth.
pups n weanlings are small for her imo.

:welcome: to BP.net. :colbert2: very nice BP. :gj:
