    Shayna shed last night and dry, weighs 1,810G.

    She's looking good.

    Everyone else fed last night and I will feed her tonight so she's still on schedule.

    Had Shayna out for a bit today for bonding time. She's looking awesome.

    Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball

    Shayna ate tonight, but didn't strike, and waited about 30 minutes before eventually gobbling down her small F/T rat. I am wondering if she's getting ready to do her yearly winter fast.

    I'll keep everyone posted, but would not be surprised if she skips next meal.

    Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball

    Thanks Kam. "Shayna" means beautiful in Yiddish, in case you didn't know.

    She's a great snake. She really got me back into reptile keeping hardcore after my kidney transplant. She was the first snake in the current collection.

    Very gentle, although shy at times.

    Got a few shots of her today after I cleaned her cage. Her almost neon yellows don't come out as well in photos as in person. She really is "bright."

    Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball

    And so it begins. Shayna began her winter fast. She ate for 7 months straight and off and on much of the later winter and early spring.

    She's a solid 1,800G+ and seems to be doing fine.

    I'll offer monthly for the next couple of months and then a little more frequently until she begins eating again.

    Other BP owners who worry about their BP's not eating. If old enough and healthy and a good weight, they just do it. Don't sweat it. Give them some space (I tend to handle less in winter as well as Shayna is trying to conserve energy) and offer food occasionally. They will eat when they want.

    Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball

    By spring, Shayna will be moved into her 4X2' tank, from the current 6X2'.

    It's too much space for her now and Jeff, the new Boa, will be going in the 6X2', once off quarantine.

    The question is do I move her now, while she is in her winter fast, or once she starts eating again? The sooner the better, and she's never missed more than a meal before when switching enclosures, however, I do not want to rock the boat.

    She is healthy and about 1,800G now.

    Any thoughts are welcome.
