Just a real quick update... Just put in Ma-tsu's humid hide, see if it helps her feel better but I'm not making another one till I see how she likes it's size opacity etc... If she likes it, I'll cut and sand the plastic on another for Neptune. Otherwise, leaving her alone and no food for a while. Poor girl...

I got a post shed pic of Neptune and a pic of his shed, though I really need a decent size picture of him in my hands. We'll get that one another time, he just ate!



Yup, I'm a dork.



I've also learned something about snakes that have once been fed live... they know that rats don't fly. And they certainly don't do zombie dances in the air. The last time I tried to coax Neptune to eat with the zombie dance, he was terrified. Like the ghost of past feeders had come to haunt him or something. Imagine a bit of fried chicken floating in the window and dancing in front of your face. Gomez thinks that's fantastic, but Neptune found it very very upsetting. Of course, Gomez is young and has always been on f/t and thinks that floating Scooby Do zombie dances are just what rats do. This time I used the tongs to place the food item on top of Neptune's hide in the middle of the day while he was out and wriggled it, more natural movements close to a real surface. Worked like a charm, which is a relief since he's such a problem eater. I'm going to do it that way from now on for him.

Sorry I'm so absent and lurky lately, bleh. I'll catch up better eventually
