    Hitting A Stretch

    This girl has been a fairly irregular eater. She's a nut, sometimes she'll take F/T other times pre killed or even more annoying only live. She has gone on 1 month plus intervals for her feeding schedule, and shorter periods other times.

    She'll take rats, quail and oddly F/T rabbits now and then.

    This month she must be on a growth spurt. She took a F/T jumbo rat 11 days ago and took a live refusal from the royal today, and she looks like she wants more.

    I may actually have a good sized coastie after the summer ends!

    She looks great. Is fun to watch them grow and enjoy personalities. Don't have a carpet so will enjoy from here.

    She will be 5 years old June 28.
    I’d say right about 7”.

    I’ll have to get the tape out to be sure.

    Very beautiful, both snake and set up. I hope she keeps feeding for you, I am patiently waiting for my boys to start really breaking their fast. Best of luck.

    Awwwww you have a "teacup" carpet. (Sorry, couldn't resist hehehe).

    In all seriousness though, she is beautiful!

    I love me some Jewel. Good to see her appetite picking up Gio. Tis the growing season. My male coastal slowed down last winter but he's going strong now too. Enjoy it while we can.

    YES,,,

    Annoying as it gets when you are trying to get as far away from royal pythons as you can, but she's becoming exciting in her older age.

    The good thing is I have a retic that strikes the head of his prey and is half way done eating after the strike because he takes so much in on the initial strike.


    I'm not sure how scrubs and olives operate, but the retic scene is something to behold LOL!

    That said I absolutely LOVE carpets of any locale and size !!

    Wow, your photos of her on the deck railing make her look much larger

    I'll measure her to see later today. I know Wallace is longer now.

    Jewel doesn't have the big triangle carpet head yet, and she is very lean still even at almost 5.
