Fresh shed :)

[flatsix02]

This is only the 2nd shed she's had since I've owed her (total of 4). She'll be a year old in a few weeks (October), and I thin shes doing pretty good on her size for her age, though I could be wrong. I don't have a scale yet, but I know she has to be at least 300 to 400 grams. Anywho, pics! Sorry, all I have is my IPhone as my camera broke.





Her tank setup, 40 gal long (to give you a size idea). And btw, before anyone says its too big, she absolutely LOVES it, and is one of the friendliest snakes any of my friends have been around.



I was really bummed because I was hoping to catch her mid shed, and I literally missed it under 2 hours. I got home from work, held he for a few, took a nap, and when I woke up 1.5 hours later, she had shed. I was SO bummed.

Looks good, the tank is gigantic, but whatever works right! Do you have a digital thermometer set up in that tank to make sure the temps are on spot? Or better yes i recommend getting one of these...

Thanks guys! It's big, yes, but she seems happy, and has never once hissed or even had the pose of striking at me. She eats weekly without an issue too! Does her size seem on par for her age? I have a digi on the way to keep good control of her heating pad... I used my buddies digi gun to make sure the bedding wasnt too hot under her rock, and it's sitting right around 91 degrees, ambient in the room is a solid 72ish, and tank temps sit close to 80 according to the thermo on the glass. One more pic, only cuz I love to share... This is her favorite position at night that I catch her at before I go to bed, i just flipped the light on to take a quick pic.

Well it really depends on her eating history and genetics, but I've had year old ball pythons that weighed 800 grams, so she could be a whole lot bigger, but it really just depends on how often she was fed. Snakes fed every 4 days while young will grow a lot faster than a snake fed once a week.

Only 4 days?! For the last few months, she was eating 2 large mice a week without issues, then this past wed., she only took 1... Because it had only been about 3/4 days, Should I up the feeding to 1 small rat every 4 days-ish? I want her to get big so she can breed with my buddies pastel. Shes just a basic spider, but I think it'd be fun and I'd love to experience it.
