    Re: Lazy Layla tricked me!

    Also to note, she refused to eat for them the day before I bought her, she had a regular poop the morning after her fist night home. She has only diarrhead 3 times since.

    Re: Lazy Layla tricked me!

    A little update. I weighed an then fed her after these pics of her. She now weighs 106g now. Even in the middle of a shed, she downed a rat fuzzy today. I know her shed looks terrible and I had trouble with her humidity a couple days before I realized she was starting to shed.

    I ordered some coco fiber on Amazon prime. I also picked up some backgrounds and black foam board today.

    whoa, is your hot side 99 degrees F??? You have to drop that ASAP. way too hot, if she lays on that you'll start seeing neurological damage and burns sooner rather than later.

    Definitely one of the best feeding videos I've seen!! Thank for sharing!!
    I'm switching my guy over to rats within the next few weeks, hopefully his transition goes as smoothly as yours seemed to, and hopefully just as comical.

    Well I only bumped it up a little because a few times I've picked her up out of her hot hide she was felt cool to the touch and she had already been in there for quite awhile. Also I checked with an infared temp gun and the substrate was only about 82*F. She had dirreaha the 3 poops and I know they need heat for digestion, so i thought it might not be warm enough. I bumped it down to 96*f under the substrate. Her cool side fluctuates from 75*f at night to 82*f late afternoon.

    Haha ya, I guess she expected me to get it started for her by placing it in her mouth. So glad the wife was recording. I need to get a phone holder or something so I can record and feed at the same time but still have smooth still video. Autofocus sucks with 60fps.

    I expected trouble for sure but was so happy she didn't care. She has always ate immediately, even when shedding. But since I started offering her the right size prey every 4-5 days, she runs off to her hot hide and we won't see her again till next feed or when I get her out. Before during the first 3-4 weeks she was always out climbing on everything poking around the top lid and getting wrapped around the temp cords. Eventually I hot glued them in place and got her feeding back on track. She is still calm as ever and never struck out in defense or been in a defensive position from what I can tell.

    aye still no good, you need to regulate the temp on the glass, not the substrate. She can burrow if she needs the full 90-92, she will find the heat. The cool side is fine with that temp range but that hot side is an accident waiting to happen for sure.

    So 90-92 inside glass temp? Ya I reread the glass tank how to. Dont know where I got to thinking that it was supposed around 95* but then she still felt cool to the touch.

    Thanks for setting me straight. We'll luckily yesterday while checking her over shed, I didn't see anything off or obvious damage, hopefully nothing internally.

    she most likely hasn't been in contact with the hottest part luckily so she should be ok. no worries man I just didn't want you to have an accident with the snake and be freaking out if she got burnt.
