Spaghetti progression thread

[tttaylorrr]

and the rat pup is down! if you notice: her hide is askew from the force she struck with. this has been so nerve-wracking; it's been a while since i cared for a hatchling but i'm over the first hump! ah!!! i'm a proud parent.

Yay! Rightfully so, she's gorgeous. Hopefully she'll continue to eat well after this. I'm lucky Calliope isn't a finicky water (though I recently switched to frozen and she keeps looking at me like I've insulted her. She threw the f/t into her water bowl twice before finally eating it.)

hah! i've never heard of a snake doing that.
spaghetti started slowly showing interest that she was hungry: i'd offer f/t, she'd seem excited, but was fed live and would turn away. when i woke up this am she was out and i knew this was gona be it. she wasn't out when i scented the room tonight but after hitting it with a hairdryer, i stuck the head in her hide and she came looking; heated it up one more time and she struck. 😊
i'm so proud of her! the breeder said she was fed pinkes so this is a first for her, too! have i typed enough??? YAY.

Well I'm glad you got her to eat, maybe I'll try scenting the room before feeding Calliope next time so she knows it's food, not a water dish sponge. I should also get some feeding tongs, she almost got my hand once. Lol.

her colors look muddy with cellphone quality; hopefully within the next week i get good photos of her on the nikon.

bonus Yellow for comparison:

She looks like a sweetheart. I'm sure the cellphone camera does her no justice as I know from experience with Calliope. I can only imagine what she looks like in person. I'm sure she's beautiful.
