Fed Kaa for the First time. Mission = Sucess!
((Haven't been on for a few day, have had wayyyyy too many calls at work D; *Shakes fist* ))
Being a new snake owner, I was very nervous about attempting to feed Kaa tonight. I wasn’t afraid of him tagging me by mistake but by the horror stories of exploding f/t mice lol. Everything went well though! I have to seriously thank Vypyrz for that though, as I studied his feeding video over and over before attempting to give Kaa his food.
Kaa was very enthusiastic about his mouse. The moment I started warming it – he came peeking out of his hide and was watching me like a hawk. All it took was one small wiggle and he nabbed it!
As far as I can tell he is settling in well and hasn’t shown any signs of stress. I also think he is secretly a dog in snakes clothing. He likes having his head rubbed and actually pushed back up against my finger like my dog does. The past couple of nights he’s also decided that curling up in my hair is fun.
I think I’m doing halfway decent for a first time owner. Every morning I check the temperatures, change the water, and monitor humidity.
Now, just to leave him be fore a day or two to digest... my fingers are itching to hold him though!
Must... Resist...Temptation!
