Crow's Intro Thread

KAA ATE! God I am so relieved. The past 48 hours have been a straight countdown to this moment. His feeding response was immediate, it might have taken 10 seconds from the moment the mouse was released to when he snatched it up.

I was immediately concerned, the strike looked good, but I realized he'd gotten him across the top of his head, the mouth was free to move. I didn't see any chew marks and he didn't seem to mind swallowing mr. mouse, so I don't know. I did what quick inspection I could, without actually touching him. When he stood his neck straight up in the air to swallow, I didn't notice anything, so I think he is good.

I did 1 adult mouse, which is what the store I bought him from said that he was eating every Tuesday. I was concerned by the fact that after he swallowed the mouse honestly I couldn't tell that he had eaten. Hopefully I'll be able to order a scale soon and get some more accurate weights than "this big" and get some recommendations on at least the Gram amount he should be consuming.

So yeah, WOOT!

WARNO: Slight Blood.

Just to clarify something.
The eyeball on ball pythons will crack like this from lack of humidity, it's not a stuck eye cap, just cracked from low to no humidity.
If you successfully raise the humidity level you'll see this reverse itself and go away

AWESOME THANK YOU! I've noticed that the eye looks more and more moist every day, so I believe it's healing properly. I'm keeping the humidity >50% to work out a lot of the kinks. The environment he came from was really just crap. Kept in the same room as 0% humidity desert scorpions/spiders/lizards.
