Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC
Feliz looks fantastic and is really filling out on the medium rats. We had a weird issue tonight though. While climbing around the chair he managed to get his lip caught on the pillow or corner of the chair and then got his bottom teeth over and into his lip. He wasn't thrilled. Katie held him and I used a q-tip to get his mouth open pretty easily. He was very thankful. I then took some chlorhexidine oral solution (I had from when Solana had the mouth injury) and cleaned that side of his mouth. I think he will be fine.
I wanted to point this out for two reasons. One, crap can happen. I blame myself but he's been on that chair 100's of times, and that's never happened, so probably just a freak thing. Secondly, he stayed calm, I stayed calm, Katie stayed calm, and all is well. People often think that snakes are aggressive, but look at Feliz. He's a total sweetie and very calm. Here he is in pain, and happily lets us help him. No defensiveness, and certainly no aggression.
Solana was the same way when her mouth was injured and I had to clean it and apply antibiotics daily for a bit. Not crazy about it, but seemed to either understand I was trying to help, or it's not in her nature to be aggressive. Obvisouly, I spend a lot of time with my animals, and we know each other pretty well. However, I think many reptiles are misjudged.
I'll let everyone know if anything comes of this, but I think he will be fine.
Anyway, picture time!

Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC
Feliz is putting on weight eating medium rats. I am not sure how much he has left to grow, but we will see. He definitely looks healthy and is lean and muscular. That's what I care about; body composition and health.
A year ago (September 2021) he was 940G dry. Now he's 1,170G dry. He's only had 3 medium rats, but I think 70G or so is due to those. It seems to have kicked him into a grown spurt.

Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC
Sorry, no pics today, but Feliz is now 1,200G dry. He's growing nicely on the medium rats every 3 weeks.
