Thanks! She's a very curious little girl. I like to call her my go-go snake because she's very proactive about going places lmao.

Last night I found a naughty girl climbing her probe wire (again). So today I built her a little ladder out of bamboo and zip ties, and now I don't think I'll be able to get her down! lol



(It's not even by the CHE anymore, why are you like this lmao)




She loves it :').

that is way cool, love the setup you built for her.

Thanks! Creative problem solving R Us! lmao. She seems pretty happy with it, and that's what counts.

[PythonBabes]

Absolutely love your set up! !

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but I can't go through this whole thread, but what tub is that and where did you get it? I have a pretty low tub for Khaa, which sucks since I can't give him much to climb on.

You're good! It's a 50 gallon Sterlite tote from Walmart, $20. The height makes it hard to give a sufficient heat gradient, hence the CHE/light setup. Most people complain about CHEs, but my tub was holding too much humidity anyways and CHE solved that, no problem, with my humidity still sitting at around 65% on the hot side all day long.

Maze loves climbing. If she could she would scale my walls and disappear into the ceiling! lol.

Hey, y'all! Maze had the biggest dump of her life last night, so I weighed her today. Empty, she is now officially 142 grams! Wooooo!


Apparently me waking her up at 1PM on feeding day was unacceptable, because she absolutely refused to go back into her hides and instead spent the next five hours waving her noodly face at me for food. Since she was up, I went ahead and let her have some roaming time on my desk, and got a cute vid of her sniffing my mouse. Plus various other pics throughout the day.












While prepping for feeding, I decided to set the rat, in a sealed plastic bag, on top of her enclosure. Apparently that was just too much because Mazikeen lost her mind a little bit.


HOW did she even GET UP THERE??? That's the corner that doesn't have any climbing structures!

And, finally, a post-food, happy noodle, probably hoping I'll drop another in because she's the favorite (she's the only, shhh don't tell her! lmao).

Another video, this time of her using the bamboo ladder. She was still in hunting mode at that point, so she kept poking her nose at the CHE like it would magically grant her food lol.



(apparently you can only put one video per post)

That determination! It's so cool seeing her use your ladder!

She's so hungry all the time! How do people move them to a weekly schedule because I don't know if she'll make it! lol. We might try it this next week but... she's got that puppy face down. IDK if I can resist!

She's still a bit unsteady on the ladder, but she'll probably figure it out with time. Practice makes better!
