    Re: My new Bredli

    Thanks about the lids. The right one gave me trouble because I tried to angle the corners. The left was not as bad and fits tight that I have to pry it open so that worked out so far.

    Evelyn is around 4 foot. I only do She is some where around 2 - 3 years old. I was told she was 18 months to 2 years old when I got her and that the seller had the info at home. He ended up not having the records which ticked me off.

    She got a rat today and is people watching from her stump.

    She is really nice. I have a 2 year old coastal that is about 6 feet long. I feed her large rats, or the quail and chick equivalent. I suppose she eats every 3 weeks to a month when I use the larger prey.

    Your girl looks great and I hope you enjoy her as much as the others you have.

    I measured Evelyn today just to see. She is around 5 1/2 ft. It thought she was shorter but I was wrong.

    They are a bit deceiving when they are light bodied and growing. My girl doesn't seem as long as my 3 year old boa constrictor, but she is by a bit now.

    I like the "somewhat" more slim build. They move a bit more graceful and tend not to knock your cage decor to bits when they decide to get groovy.

    Although I just fed very heavy and she is giant right now.

    Re: My new Bredli

    My feed schedule at the moment is I feed Evelyn every 5 days with a medium rat. Now due to being at work so much, sometimes skip a feed day because I run out of time trying to take care of stuff when I am off. I have always done the 5 day cycle if my snakes are juvenile. So Evelyn and Pryor are feed every 5 days and my BP is once a week.

    I watched a animalbytes video yesterday where the caught 2 scrub pythons that had each eaten a chicken and if was funny seeing the long snake with that big of a food lump. It looked like the had eaten a cinder block.

    That's about what my girl looks like, a football in her middle.

    I will feed very heavy once in a while, and then wait a month, maybe longer and feed a small item then wait another long bit.

    I don't typically use a "schedule" but more of a feast or famine method with mixed prey type and different sizes.

    I suspect she is in her growth spurt now and will not eat again until she is cleared out and has had a shed which could be into mid August.

    I will not duplicate this last feeding however, it was a one time deal.

    Re: My new Bredli

    Evelyn shed the other day so she was weighed. I though she would have been a little heavier but I since I have had missed a feeding here and there due to work this is where she is at.

    I fed her after weighting her. She cruised around for a little while after finishing her dinner. She kept ending up back where she ate the rat so I think she was wanting 2nds. I might treat her to 2 medium rats next time I feed her.

    Next time I am going to put her in a bag to weigh her instead of the box.

    She looks great, enjoy the pics!

    I really like your wood structures. Good arrangement.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Thanks, it was something I build quickly until I finish her permanent home.

    I guess dinner was on the dry side. Evelyn ended up eating half in her water bowl for her first rat. She looked like a wide mouth shark trying to swallow the rat and stay out of the water at the same time. I also gave her a 2nd rat for this feeding. She then went to her hot side hide so I think she was fat, full and, Happy.

    She's looking really good Fire. I like the cage setup too. She's got her own little jungle gym in there.
