i almost lost a finger to her, she's a DANGER noodle!!! /s

all 3 of legless babies are as passive as can be in and out of shed, it was startling to see her so worked up; i felt bad!!! i think she's just new and she knows she smol and feels like the world is against her. something tells me she'll be my only python who feeds while in shed, 'cause she has that 'TUDE.

Coffee Bean ate last night and i woke up this morning to find she had shed!

i took her out for a quick weigh and snapped a pic. she's 131g now; up 40g in just over 2 weeks! she's still full so i'll have to weigh her again for a more accurate number.

last night i had Coffee Bean out for a quick weigh and handling sesh. she was not into it, hence no pics: very tense, always watching my movements, but never snapped at me thankfully. i put her on my blanket and made a lil cave for her, but she never explored or anything; she just watched me. i guess she still sees me as a threat, but we'll work on it together!

as of last night she weighs 159g! that's +30g in under two weeks!!! she has yet to miss a meal, and she'll soon be moving up in prey size.

i'll have to put in an order at Perfect Prey soon. i'm planning on changing Yellow to a 2-week feeding schedule with medium rats, and finally switching Coffee Bean over to rats! i hope that goes as smoothly as her transition from live to f/t, which was INSTANT.

i hope so! since she's on a 3-4 day feeding schedule i haven't really been handling her, but i'm hoping once she moves up to larger prey and gets more weight on her she'll mellow out and we'll get to spend more time together!!!

Arjana was the same exact way when I got her.
Frequent but shorter handling sessions got her over the worst of it. During this summer I had less time to handle because I'm very busy, yet she is still very good.

that's good to hear. her personality is much more aggressive than my other two, so this is all new territory for me. i'll start with shorter and more frequent sessions next time i handle her (in 3 days; she gets fed tonight). thank you for your insight!
