Another good picture of Figment. Really captures his colors nicely.

Re: Figment - Our Hypo Lavender Corn Baby
Figment shed the other day, and again, I had to help him with the tip of his tail. This is going to be a reoccurring theme. For what's worth, his tail tip is no better or worse than when he had the shed issue and slight injury last year. It's perfectly stable and doesn't seem to bother him at all. However, he sheds 99.5% of his body perfectly and then for the past few sheds, and I think every shed from now on, I soak his tail tip for a few minutes, and gently remove the last 1/4 to 1/2 inch of shed from his tail, if it's that much.
He's a good guy and doesn't mind my help. I don't mind doing it, but need to stay on top if it.

He's a little washed out in those crappy and temporary basement lights. He's much more pinkish/purple/grey than he looks in the pictures here. I love his amethyst eyes though. When you look close, he's got so much nuance in his coloration, especially around his head and neck.
He's also an awesome guy. Active and wiggly, but just curious. He's really a great snake.

Always fun to catch one of the snakes drinking.
I put fresh water in and showed Figment the bowl and BAM! He really wants a mouse, but that's coming tomorrow.

Re: Figment - Our Hypo Lavender Corn Baby
Figment is doing well. He's down to about 520G from about 620G a couple of years ago. I think he looks much healthier. Totally my fault as I was feeding him fatty breeder mice and too often. Now that he's been eating an adult mouse every two weeks, plus the past three months of work in the basement and sporadic eating, I think he looks really healthy. He shines, has a great temperament, and never refuses is a meal. Overall, great snake.
