Mosaic is doing well today and definitely ready for an enclosure upgrade.
She just shed and she's looking very very beautiful, olive brown(instead of mud-brown) with black patterns with cream/white belly.
She's also definitely growing, when I was holding her today I noticed a definite weight change as well as more strength in her body in general. I've also been slowing upping her prey size. The place that supplies my feeders tends to have inconsistent sizes in prey, which is fine. I buy lots at a time anyway and just feed the smaller ones first and move up as the snake grows. Carpets definitely grow at a different pace than BP's.
I got her out to look her over and have some handling time as well as clean up her still fresh shed. Good shed, no issues.
I set her on the back of my chair and kept an eye on her while I did a water change and cleaned up her shed. Went to go get her and made the mistake of going by her head. I got tagged. It was nothing tho, felt the teeth but she didn't even break the skin. Lesson learned for when she is much bigger, I don't really want to be bit by a head the size of my hand in the future.
Picked up from mid-body after letting her know I was there and she was fine. I think I startled her more than anything.
She will be moving into the 20gal long as soon as Rei moves out of it. Still 2 months out on her new PVC enclosure. I need to begin putting together her enclosure decorations as well.
