Adelita - 2019 Hypo Sonoran

She's just beautiful - more so with every photo, it seems - and so expressive! I LOVE her people-watching hobby and I think it's fantastic that you'll be keeping her in the living room so that she's always entertained. You really got yourself a special lady there.

That "I made Mom give up her morning coffee break to get stuck shed off my face" look.

Adelita shed yesterday and while it wasn't perfect, it wasn't all that bad. Just a little stuck shed on and around her right eye that came off with a quick soak. Given that this is her first shed since I had to apply Neosporin to her nose to treat the rub she started a few months ago, it was expected. Otherwise, she's looking great!

M'lady must stretch and realign her jaws after every meal. Even if it causes her to make the most ridiculous faces.

On a side note: the boas really, really like feeding after lights out. I think I'll have to keep indulging them.

I agree w/ the lights out for feeding. I have my lights on a timer and it's amazing how a switch goes off in my BOAs head when they turn off.

Somebody was feeling the need to climb today! This was her first time climbing a vertical "branch" like this, and yet she knew just what to do. Chalk another win up for snake instincts.

I think I'll have to get her and her brother some new out-of-enclosure climbing structures. Both of them have a keen interest in climbing and poking around outside of their enclosures, so it would be a great way for them to have a safe place for supervised playtime while working their muscles. A coat rack, laundry drying rack, or ideally a faux tree should do the trick.

Looking good! CLIMB Adelita, CLIMB!

I got this for the snakes to climb on. It's not too heavy for me, but heavy duty enough for even a full grown BI for sure. It also folds up really thin and has wheels.

I can also use it to stand on when I clean the top tanks, although I usually just use a step stool.

The one criticism I have is the "shelf" piece has two holes in it, a small one and a bigger one. I watch the snakes when they climb, but they could conceivably get stuck. I plan to remove that piece ASAP.

My little piggy. You'd never knew she ate last night given how much she's begging. Not even lying in ambush -- just flopped out in the open and giving the "feed me" face!

Hah! That’s exactly what my two boas do regardless of feeding frequency.

3 weeks=good god, human! I’m starving!
3 days=good god, human! I’m starving!
