    It's been a while...

    So it's been pretty much 12 months since I last made contact! I've had a very hectic few months and have mainly been lurking in the shadows trying to catch up on threads where possible. Cutting a looong story short; We're all settled in to our new home which will hopefully be our last move for a few years (we've moved 4 times this year!) and I feel nows the time to show off my girl Xena in all her beauty!

    At 3.5yo, hitting near the 7.5ft mark and weighing in just shy of 2.3kg she has got a bit more growth in her yet but none the less an impressive gain from the 450g's she was this time last year!


    I'm bias but I think she's beautiful 😍

    she's now taking at least 1 large FT rat a week (she is an eating machine!), she usually has the BP's medium rat as dessert!

    Thanks for letting me share! Sorry to have been a stranger!

    That's an outrageously pretty snake! Feel free to post her picture any time.

    Welcome back Kez. Xena is looking awesone. A large rat every 7 days is a lot of food for a 3.5 y/o carpet. You may want to consider dialing those feedings back to every 14 days.

    Thanks for the welcome guys! She's certainly my pride and joy! Although I'm getting the itch to get another noodle!

    Ziggy - I know it's a lot but I can't seem to fill her up?! She will literally track me across the glass after about 5 days and I manage to hold out to 7-10 days but she will strike at the glass and tear her viv apart if I leave her any longer? Any suggestions are welcome! Her breader has advised that I feed her up and get some weight on her, especially if she wants it!

    Thank you!
    Sleepymoon thank you! We collected branches from local woodland and my partner sanded them down a little and screwed them together to create structures! She absolutely loves them, always out on display!
