Kashmire Then and Now

Well, I decided to take a picture of Kashmire after his shed today and take a comparable picture from his first day. He arrived to me on July 7th weighing 70 grams. I weighed him today and he's 174 grams on a mouse a week! Thanks again Adam!!!

Oh, and that is different Aspen than what he arrived in. Not taking any chances that he might get reinfested with yucky parasites (and sterilized deli cup)

Wow happy 2 month anniversary of being a snake mom! (dang I need to get busy designing appropriate ecards for snake folks)

Kash looks great! Big ole handsome baby boy!

LOL! I keep scrolling back and forth between the two pics amazed at the difference! I think I'm being OCD again. "Think" I see miniscule pieces of shed on him, even after the soak, but not sure. Wondering if I should soak again tomorrow, but can hear Adam saying "would you leave that poor snake alone?????"

WOW! He looks great and he has really grown. Congrats! You've done a great job! :)

wow hes beatiful, and a lot bigger... lol. where did you get him from?

Thank you! He came from a distributor in CA. I wouldn't do it again, because he came to me with parasites, but a vet visit and two de-wormings took care of that.

And you love him oooooooooooodles despite it all right Robin! LOL

We've taken chances with all three of our females (and totally lucked out on 2 that came in unsexed and probed out female). I can't wait to get Finn from Adam and finally have a snake with a known history and genetics as well as a wonderful start in life. A bit less stressful (okay so I'll still have that raging OCD but shhhhhhh please let me have my fantasy here!)

:oops:

pretty cool then and now pics :)

All I can say is wow. He has some more blushing with the yellow

awesome weight gain, he looks real healthy!

Yup, Jo is right, I lurve him so much! He's my "first born" in ball pythons! I hope to have more in the future, but he'll always be my first.


Despite the health problems initially, he's priceless to me now! I keep coming back to this page where I can see the two pics together and it still amazes me how much he's grown and thrived in two months time!

Although I secretly hope that the ball gods smile on me and he probes female. I'm not 100% confident that the distributor sexed him properly (or perhaps it's just wishful thinking).

You just never know Robin. I was absolutely sure that Punkin would sex out a male....one time I'm glad I was wrong LOL.

That is a fantastic change in just two months! I've had a couple sub-adult females since late June, and haven't gotten them to eat yet!! :mad: Been following ALL Adams advice, and still nothing. Really considering putting them each in a bag with a f/t and tieing it shut overnight, or till they eat it! They don't seem to be losing weight, but then again, its hard to tell with just quick looks.
