I like the name Phoenix, but I was planning on naming a fire that in the future.

I think I've settled on Naja.

I just checked on her and she's seemed to have settled in well. Sprawled out on her heating pad. I figured I'd give her a few hours on the soaked paper towels to let her underside absorb some. Gonna change that all out soon, but for now shes just chillin.

She is so cute! I'm so glad you got your hands on her! BTW, Nadja is scandinavian for "hope". Just thought you'd like to know that...

Oh nice! Naja means "Saved" or "Rescued". Hence why I went with that - but they are so close I'll probably call her both xD

Phoenix will be an awesome name for a Fire, and I really like Naja!

I thought so. I was going to get a pair and name them Phoenix and Dragon. Keep my naming convention of mythical creatures/people going. So far most of them are one or the other - or someone else named them

My naming convention is Greek and Roman Mythology...Bacchus, Cupid, Mars, Apollo etc.

Sam and I have settled on Naja/Nadja - Naja is Arabic for Rescued, Saved, Escape. Nadja is Slavic for Hope, so in a way - yes

I had to take her out this morning because she dumped her water again, BUT the overnight humidity burst helped her TREMENDOUSLY. I snapped some pictures before I put her back.

Listless, dry and reluctant to move yesterday..

Did someone switch the snake?! She's a totally different animal today - my case in point - all the pictures are blurry! xD She would NOT hold still.



Here's the ONLY belly shot she let me get.






Now - All those pictures were taken in the same spot under the same light on the same towel as the pictures from yesterday. I know this girl will bounce back fast.

I just have a question - She ate 3 adult mice on Friday. Its Tuesday - Should I try and feed her a rat today? or should I wait a few more days? If I should feed her, should I start with a small?

[Slim]

Xotik, she's looking great! If it were me, I would wait till Friday, or whatever your next normal feeding day is, if you have one, and give that girl a Med rat in the 70-90 gram range. Once you get her going on rats, she's gonna' take off for you. Looks like she might be a pretty big girl when she gets to full size.
