    What a wonderful story Boger! Sometimes the unexpected gifts are the best ones to receive. Absolutely a miracle and a blessing in one... I agree with posting some pictures but of course when you are ready. Thank you for sharing...

    I caught a glimpse of her this afternoon sprawled on her branches but once she knows she's been seen, she goes & hides, until I "catch" her doing something else, like
    bathing in her water bowl. She's doing well...but growth takes time. And courage, even longer, lol.

    She was on her branches again this morning, checking the air-flow thru the ventilated top of her cage, and then later this afternoon, she took f/t pinky #8 from
    the tongs, finally. She was partly in substrate, and it took a minute or so...she obviously wanted it but had to "think it over some"... Silly snake. She's still
    very squirmy any time I have to pick her up...but that's normal at this stage. She still makes no effort to bite & everything's just as it should be..."normal".

    One thing I noticed when she was on her branches is that she's really learned how to hang onto branches better: she really throws her "curves" around them now,
    whereas before, she'd slide along & more easily lost her grip...like a toddler learning to walk, eh?

    She's more like her mom every day. Her cage is roughly 10" wide by 16" long & 12" high, & yesterday I revised her "floor plan" yet again to make improvements.

    I have no fear that she'll go "off feed" from such changes, by the way...she embraces each one (as she visibly did today) by exploring. Her damp moss is a container
    about 5" high that takes up 1/4 of the "floor" in one corner, another corner is her water bowl, & the remaining half of the cage has a warm hide & a cardboard tunnel
    with substrate mounded to tunnel in, both with & without UTH. She has 2 branches, each one wedged diagonally to go from the floor in one corner to the ceiling in
    the other, and somewhere in the middle of the cage these branches intersect & cross each other.

    This morning Milagro looked like a miniature version of her mom: she was draped with half her body on each branch, & her tail tip holding on to the top of her moss
    container. She is obviously feeling more secure, and she stayed there quite a while, in her "room with a view". Pretty darn cute! Even though she just ate,
    it didn't stop her from exploring & even climbing, but she alternates between hiding/resting and checking things out at her own pace, every inch a rat snake.

    She was real active a few days ago (on & off the branches, in & out of her moss, in & out of her hide & tunnel) but now she's been hiding, so I'm sure she's in a
    shed cycle...she was due for one. This will be her second shed, I'll keep you posted. I already miss watching her antics...especially when she'd sprawl on a branch
    for a while just like her mom does. I'm guessing these snakes are adept at catching some birds & squirrels in the wild...they look much like the branches they're on.

    I really like giving her more environmental challenges in her cage as she's growing...she appears to have gotten more adept, more coordinated at navigating her
    surroundings, the more practice she's gotten. Let's see now, what else can I teach her? Probably time for a bit more handling...
