Yafe easily digested that big meal and left me a present yesterday.
He's now 260G!
He eats again tonight.

Ha! He's actually getting more so. Further, Carpet's are known for being nippy when small, but tend to grow out of it.
I assume you are pulling my leg, but either way, I have a lot of confidence in him and will continue to work with and spend time with him.
Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread
Yafe did not eat tonight and is going to shed soon. I had him out earlier to check his tank and clean his water. He gave me a little hiss, the first in a while, when I picked him up and even before when I stroked him with the hook handle. However, he calmed right down, as usual. His eyes were cloudy, but I figured I'd try tonight anyway. No luck. However, this has been his M.O. since I've had him. He doesn't want to eat in shed.
I'll offer next week after his shed and post pictures as well. I imagine he's going to look stunning.

I'd say you ARE lucky. He knows what he can handle & what he can't...if he took food, he might have either regurged it or shed in a zillion pieces. Believe him, he doesn't
need a meal while shedding. ;)

I don’t feed in shed as a general rule.
However, unlike my boas or corns, I know he won’t eat if he’s close. Shayna (BP) is the same way.
Not sure how close he is as I haven’t had him out in two days, but again, I can trust him to let me know.
Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread
Yafe had a perfect shed and sounds great, meaning he's healthy and hit no bumps that I can see with the shed.
I couldn't get a good picture as it's hot as heck here and didn't want to take him outside. He was also very active today.
I'll get better pictures when I can.
In the meantime, he's 270G totally empty (he didn't eat last week and went when he shed).
