They never refuse. Oh well, live and learn.
    Still could be a shed coming, & maybe his most recent meal was on the "big" side for him? Anyway, it's only been a week since he ate last, right?

    That's right. He actually ate twice last week if you count the chomp he took out of me . Come to think of it. He has been keeping kind of a low profile, like he did before his last shed.

    Hahaha, "the chomp he took out of you"! Young snakes can easily shed every 3 weeks- there's no set schedule anyway & I suspect he's doing just fine.

    Though he might need a rabies shot now, come to think of it?

    Temps and humidity are on point. I don't have any other reason to think there's a problem. So, I'll expect a shed in the coming days.

    It's obvious you just miss him "launching" at you- LOL.

    True. I was all set to face his flying fangs, so his indifference was disappointing. I expect he'll make up for it at his next feeding.

    I think you're doing a great job with this guy! Too bad the nickname "Fierce snake" is already taken by another species* though, eh? (*Inland/Western Taipan)
    It's obvious that he's really enjoying his home too.

    Thanks. It's only been 6 months since Fonzie passed, so I really appreciate the reassurance.

    Re: Wiggles, the Children's Python

    Cleaning Day! Yeh!


    All my furnishings get a diluted chlorhexidine wipe down. This includes:

    4 hides
    3 climbing branches
    2 water bowls
    1 repticarpet
    1 bench
    1 basking slate
    1 shedding stone
    1 fake foliage
    1 glass cover
    1 pvc shelf
    1 tub
    1 Golum.

    To alleviate my concern with bacteria buildup in my repticarpet, I have two identical pieces that I alternate. So, I'll wash this one with Dawn dishwashing soap, dry it, put it away, and replace it with the piece I cleaned last month. All this takes me about an hour. It's not fun, but you do what you gotta do.
