Thanks Gio! She seems to be getting just a little more orange coloration in and around her face, and a bit darker in the tail area. Not a ton of change that I see. Fine by me, I love her chocolate browns.

She weighed 155 grams after shedding and emptying out. Something tells me she'll hit 200 pretty quickly now though.

For a "normal" which I love, she's exceptionally pretty.

I'm sure she'll hit a big growth spurt very soon.

She's one of the reasons I went for the species. I've always had and interest but your girl got me more interested.

Thanks man. I happen to love how most "normals" look anyway, just the way the were created.

I'm so glad I took the leap. She's so easy!!! She's as placid as a BP and has been for months. I often joke that I could grab my BP, Tyson, out of his enclosure blindfolded. Fernie is already the same way. She is the epitome of chill, not headshy in the least, never even shows the faintest glimmer of stress or aggression. I'm looking forward to some great years with her.

Same here brother. Normal is my gig.
I actually asked Nick for a normal but he said this guy (Kevin) would easily accommodate to one of my large cages. And it was the offer I couldn’t refuse.

I love when Bredli darken up.

Fernie's looking great Craig. I had a feeling you'd really like Morelia. I know your girl is 155g and adult mice are cool but I think you should give her bigger meals at least occasionally. I was feeding my carpets 18g meals when they were 85g. I fed my coastal his first jumbo mouse when he was 140g. I'm all for the slow growth approach with my boas. Pythons and colubrids are a little different. I feed them fairly heavily for the first 2 years and then I dial them back. You'll see that much of their food intake goes towards their growth. I also look at their poop sizes. Big poops mean more excess. Smaller poops mean they retained more of those meals. My Olive would take large meals but have small poops and it was all healthy growth. You've seen my adult carpets as well. I'm not saying you should change anything just sharing my 2 cents.

Oh I've got bigger here for her. I just figured I'd stick to a few of the smallest in the bag to get rid of them. I've got a few more small ones for Cornell saved up. He's got one more rat fuzzy I might as well feed off. He's prob 130 grams, maybe a hair more.

Unfortunately, this bag of mice came in really small. I was disappointed with the order. But oh well. I've gotta place a prey order in a few weeks so I'll be stocking up.

I appreciate the info my friend. They'll be getting bigger meals

It was a beautiful day today, so Fernie and I chilled outside for a bit. I wasn't really in picture mode but couldn't resist snapping a few...
