    Beauty Babble (Dial-up be Afeared)

    Neptune is an odd boy. He seems to like doing everything at once... shed, poop, and eat in that order. He'll eat maybe once or twice a month, and sheds awfully frequently for an adult ratsnake, which I suspect is because he's such a stressball. He was even in shed when we first brought him home, which is why he ate for us right away. *sighs* He's healthy though, so claimeth the vet, so I'm not complaining! We're feeding him on Saturday now, so if he refuses Ma-tsu can have it on Sunday. She always eats, so no wasted food that way.

    Ma-tsu is in hiding a lot lately... I keep hoping she'll lay, but it's hard to tell as she's eating just fine and being so unusually hidey. I pester her every once in a while just to make sure she's not hiding eggs where they'll dry out. Poor sweetie. When I life up her hide she's all coiled up and looks up at me like "Wha? Huh? Oh, hi. Huh?" And is so cute I just want to scoop her up and snuggle her. But I don't, cause she might be preggers. Below is an example of the cuteness I must resist on a regular basis. God, she's gorgeous.





    Here's a few pics just before Neptune shed! Do my eyes decieve me, or is he actually using his humid hide for once?! He is! He's using it! And angry at me for noticing, lol.



    Semi-soaking in a circle.







    One shed and poop (in the humid hide, no less) later, he took the offered f/t rat! You can see the bump that was the rat here. I didn't dare take pics before it was that far down, for fear he'd get offended and change his mind.









    Thanks for looking! I'd love to iconize this cute picture of him peeking out for LJ, but I can't quite think of the right caption. Any suggestions?

    Re: Beauty Babble (Dial-up be Afeared)

    I love that first picture! Thanks for the pictures. I always love updates on those two.

    I was at a local pet store and saw they had two baby blue beauties for sale. Talk about shock!! I thought of you immediately. They also had a more adult Taiwan beauty as well. Those guys are super long!! WOW! It was the squirmiest thing I had ever seen. Very impressive snake.

    Thumbs up Re: Beauty Babble (Dial-up be Afeared)

    Awwh, "I see you" is a cute idea!

    I got Neptune's cage from Custom Wood Reptile Cage Company, who are just awesome. I highly recommend them. Best prices I've ever seen for custom made, delightfully escape proof (trust me, Neptune has tested it and tested it good!), easy to clean and just looks beautiful. Even got to pick out the wood stain. I've since become buds with the owner, who's an absolute doll. When I get my snake room, I want a bunch of these. The humidity isn't much better than it would be in a glass tank, as the top is a screen, but that's why they've got humid hides. Haven't had a single problem shed! They're UTH safe too, though all VBBs need is between 75-85 degrees. *does a whole commercial* Seriously, I love that cage. It makes the room look magically less cluttered too, somehow.

    Squee, baby VBBs!! In a store?? Wow! Man... I can't wait to have little pipping babies of my own. I also love being associated I wear my crazy VBB lady title with pride! The length is amazing, isn't it? I've seen a Taiwan Beauty in person before at a pet store, the same one I got Unut at. First beauty snake I'd ever seen in person before, but she was cranky and in shed so I didn't really get the full effect. Apparently the fates were saving that up for Ma-tsu. I love that pic too. That's her right after I lift the hide to egg check, poor dear, lol.

    awesome snakes!! for the last one "hey is that rat for ME?!?!?!" lol
    If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were

    Re: Beauty Babble (Dial-up be Afeared)

    That's a cute idea, but I wish! For Neptune, probably more like "Back off, lady, I'm big and bad and... EEK, my shadow! " than food begging. He is crazy like that, lol. And thank you! I love them to bits.
