Just fed her an f/t weaned rat. I was offering on tongs, but she wouldn't strike and wrap. So I left it in front of her hide, and she spent 10 minutes sniffing it and then slowly wrapped it on her own to start finding the head. It took her about an hour to actually find the head and eat it, but she didn't give up. In fact, I think she was getting more and more frustrated, and persevered. LOL. Hopefully she's easy to feed every week.

Here she is in her hide. I stuck my iphone camera into the entrance. Probably the worst picture I've ever taken, but I really wanted to get a picture...

I'm actually weirded out by those vertical lines on her side. Pretty sure they're markings, but not totally sure.

So pretty!

BTW, if you put your phone right down on the top mesh you can good pictures.

Can't stop looking for updates.

Very few people have what you have including me!!

Your choice here has really impressed me. I think you will be rewarded with a challenging keep and a number of behaviors that are entertaining and certainly worth displaying!

ReD SheP you have done well and I'm envious!

Aw that pleases me to hear haha! I actually wasn't aware she was that rare until a few people pointed it out.

I sure hope she will be challenging to keep, and be a very different experience! My other snakes are sometimes too much of a breeze lol. Definitely hoping to put her in a large display as an adult!

Okay last bump of the day, I promise... lolol





I still ended up taking out the nikon for her, and I found out that she HATES flash photography! Either that or she hated the clicking sound of the camera. It totally freaked her out, as you can see from the first to the second pic here. Not even my green tree python has this strong reaction to flash or camera clicks haha.
