Tub Questions

[Patricia]

As for the little girl, I got her as a hatchling in February, so she's around 6-7 months old & ~350g currently. She is a very picky eater, so her growth was slow at first.

Holy guacamole, our Patriot is about the same age and all of 140g (well, that's AFTER the poop, LOL!) From the sounds of it, he wasn't fed enough this entire little life and is gradually catching up here with us.

Your snakes are BEAUTIFUL! Mona looks like she's 10 feet long!

(I didn't know snakes require so little air. I need to familiarize myself with their physiology. Thanks!)

Muchas gracias! She (Mona) is huge, isn't she? I might be a little off on Delilah's age, because she was over 100g when we got her. As for Toby, he was around 150g in May, and has more than doubled since then! He's a total pig, so I expect he will reach breeding size by winter. Here he is, in case you haven't seen before:

OK lady, what super-snake-food are you feeding them? Toby looks 10 feet long too, with nothing to judge his size by, LOL!

Have you been able to get all 3 of them draped on you for a picture? That would be pretty neat, if doable.

I know how you feel. I just got a 1 year and 2 month old Male axanthic last week. His weight was 296g when I put him in my scale for the first time. Im trying to fatten him up!

As far as the oxygen thing goes. I didnt know either untill recently . Like you already know, we learn alot of things here in these wonderful boards.

I see, I wonder how big a male would get compared to her size .

Males are generally much smaller - usually more like 1500g full-grown, but I think a few people here have boys over 2000g. Since Mona is still relatively young and just had a clutch, she could get even bigger in the future.

I dont know why, but for some reason I find female pets have more personality than males. Ive had female dogs all my life, and just one male dog. And in the case of balls, the females get bigger, which is a plus for me

I've always favored the girls too, but it depends on the species. Female cats tend to be more independent and intelligent, whereas the males are usually very affectionate... so it just depends on what type of personality you like! Snakes are a different story, especially if you plan to breed, since it takes a while to get the females large enough. Not sure about personality, since my boy is actually the friendliest so far.

LOL... he will literally eat anything, but currently gets rat weanlings. People always think he's huge from the pictures, for some reason. Here's a picture of him on myself, and I am a fairly average-sized 5'6" woman:

Oh, I would LOVE to get a picture with all three! Maybe I'll ask my roommate to take one later...

[Danounet]

Lol because he looks huge in that pic, I guess it is a real good close up picture

In the begining I didnt want a blushed pastel. I wanted a lemon with no blushing and high yellow and pitch black.

Now my pastel is growing. His bright yellow got a little dull, but looks good still. and he has a lot of blushing now. Almost no pitch black back. But I actualy like it that way now. His blushing is growing into me .

I usually keep the macro setting on for snake pictures, even when I'm not too close up... their scales just look much better that way.

I love a high-blushed pastel! I adore Toby's coloring, and can't wait to get him a pastel girlfriend... I might even breed him back to an offspring, since that would make KILLER super pastels.

I have no Idea what a macro setting is. Maybe a camera thing. I have a camera but I dont know much about it. Other than pressing the button to take a pic and taking videos and transfering them to my PC

I am thinking the same thing for my pastel.

I've never seen artist's tape before, what's it like?

Its basically low tack tape. You can put it on paper and then take it off and replace it without ripping the paper.
