    Yingarna the Bredli

    My husband finally got a good picture of Yingarna, my female Bredli, this morning! (Happy dance). The coloring is a smidge red from her heat lamp.



    She was on her branch, which is a nice warm spot. Pretty sure my husband used the step stool to get the picture.

    She's tricky to get pictures of, as she likes to hang out on her shelf, which is above eye level, and doesn't sit still when she's out (see my "few Bredli questions" thread for an overall picture of her enclosure)



    Yin is a year old, 213 grams last night. I got her about a month ago from Reptile Rapture, in Monona, WI (Madison suburb). She's still a little nervous/nippy, but getting better.

    Last night was feeding day for the pythons, which also means they get weighed. I'm getting over lower back/sciatica issues, so husband was helping with Yin and Bruce (also still nippy) and commented that my problem children are growing on him.

    Yingarna the Bredli

    Ying looks great! And quite comfortable too.

    When out and about, my Carpets stay in constant motion!

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    Yingarna being queen of all she surveys. She's still nippy enough that I chickened out of getting her down from the top of the tree (above my eye level), and got Dracos to do it for me.

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    Yingarna was not pleased about having her cage cleaned yesterday. She spent the entire afternoon/evening sulking in the corner!on one of the magnetic anchors for her vine:

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    My bredli gets her shed in a wad from time to time after being handled and sits in her hides. Are you weighing her every time you feed? Why so often? I weigh after sheds.

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    Yes, we weigh every feeding. We started doing it with the babies, and kept going with the bigger snakes. All the snakes get frequent handling, and I expect they've learned that weighing means food next. If somebody's being particularly stubborn (Yin and Bruce), we will skip weighing.

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    Yesterday afternoon I had the snake tree set up while Dracos and our son were playing Star Wars X-Wing. Yingarna escaped the tree and helped with the game.

    Funny, a real Star Wars fan and a helper!

    I like her pretty eyes.

    Re: Yingarna the Bredli

    In the last couple weeks we've noticed that Ying is (finally) settling down - probably she's gotten big enough not to worry about everything eating her. We've started letting her move up our arms and around our shoulders. I'm not as comfortable with her in striking distance of my face as I am with my spotted python or the BPs, but she's much better. Still head-shy too, but less likely to come apart, or at least not as badly, when she bops her own nose into something. I don't think she'll ever have a boople-snoot.




    Pics are from January 20th, through her cage front.

    She was in a snit Tuesday; I reached in to take her out, bumped her magnetic ledge just wrong, and it let go, dumping her. I took the ledge out, declared it outgrown, and shut the door - no use dealing with her at that point. Last night she was coiled up on her artificial tree branch, no doubt missing her ledge. A 4' X 2' X 2' cage for her will be our next AP purchase, definitely with a shelf. Menard's has cut stone-ish ceramic tile sections, thinking se might like that on her future ledge to get warm from the RHP.

    Got her late September, at 11 months old, 175 grams, eating rat fuzzies (that didn't last long); now she's 475 grams, on small adult rats, 4-4.5 ft long.
