Re: Scarlette - 2022 Colombian BCI
Fed her last night. Much better strike and coil this time. She's doing well.

The old saying, "practice makes perfect", applies to snakes too.  Just think if we'd had to crawl out of our cribs to find food?

Re: Scarlette - 2022 Colombian BCI
She's been eating and growing well, already around 2'2". Increasingly less headshy, and she has a great temperament. Her 6'x2'x2' is built, substrate is in (Coco Husk), along with some decor and climbing options. As of now I'm just watching the heat and humidity and looking for more enrichment.
Needless to say, this animal is amazing.

Re: Scarlette - 2022 Colombian BCI
Sorry for the lack of posts, I ended up in a hospital for about a week and care for the animals was left under someone else. Needless to say they were cared for far better than last time. Weighing her today, she came in at 156 grams and is going into blue. She did refuse food last week. I wont be offering any this week due to her shed. She still has not been moved to the 6' enclosure, and I'm not rushing to move her. Still loving her, very much!

So sorry to hear you were in the hospital for a bit- hope everything's okay now. Sounds like your boa is doing fine- I'd do the same thing right now- no rush to move her- especially not while she's in shed.

Re: Scarlette - 2022 Colombian BCI
Fed her just a few minutes ago, I'm seeing what you all mean by hitting HARD. She struck harder than even my 3 year old carpet, with a surprising amount of strength for such a small animal. She is on small adult mice right now (17-20 grams) once a week. Shes gained an inch since I got her, along with some weight. She seems to be doing well on this.

 Yeah, you always want to stay out of the way of hungry boas. So much fun to feed though.
