    Looking Better, (I think) *Pics*

    Heres some pics of my little one. I got s/he on the 9th and when I posted a pic here people were saying he was skinny but not dangerously skinny. S/he has gone through 3 feedings with me on live hoppers on a 5 day schedule, with no issues eating whatsoever. I believe my little one is growing pretty well. The first pic is when I got the snake.

    Definitely looking better. Amazing what a few regular feedings will do for them.

    She's adorable! This post is near to my heart, because my normal female was a underweight and injured rescue. Just wait until she's a fat and happy sub-adult. Those comparison photos will be priceless.

    You guys think I should stick with what Im on, 1 hopper every 5 days? The hopper is whats in his mouth in the picture above. Should I move to a larger mouse or move to rats and go to 1 day a week?

    he/she really looks much better, its a really significant improvement.

    get a kitchen scale that displays in grams, its good to have one. and then you can follow the simple rule of thumb for hatchlings/subadults, which is 10-15% of body weight every 5 to 7 days.

    another rule of thumb is that the widest part of the food item should not be wider than the widest part of your snake. but then, your snake is recovering from being really, really thin.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0

    still got to fatten her up a bit but at least now she looks healthy just on the lean side. looks to be the right size meal for her if you wanna plump her up a bit more id say feed her every 4 days till she gets a little plump, i wouldn't feed her more often then every 4 days. id also recommend getting s/he sexed if you have a herp pet store near you if its a mom and pop place they will probably even do it for free knowing the sex gives you an idea of how fat it should be ... well i guess that doesnt really matter unless ur planning on breeding it.... dont listen to me congrats on getting s/he back to a healthy weight

    She's coming along very nicely! Oliver was on 3 fuzzies when I bought him in December. He's now at 1 medium mouse every 5-6 days. He's about 5 months old.....
