Totally forgot to post this on here the other day!! (From Thurs)

Over the moon!! She ate her first rat fluff this morning!

Got a vid of the action. Not the best like as my son was whinging and playing with toys in the background, she took 3 attempts to actually grab and constrict the rat, then I couldn't get the forceps out as she squeezed so hard!! lol note to self. Feed her when Lucas is in another room or in bed!!

So ignoring all the background racket! here's the vid:

And here's some pics after she finished eating








So pleased she was keen to eat only 6 days after getting here. Think I need to work on my technique so she can grab it first time tho. I was then advised she could handle bigger prey after she was seen eating, but as I bought 25 fluffs I thought I'd see if she was still hungry by offering her a 2nd fluff that night.

I got a night feeding vid!!! Crap visibility (as her lights are off for the night) but then I swear she plays to the camera!!! She pulled it into a patch of light to eat it!! Also didn't help that the rat was black!!! LOL Something rather eerie about watching a snake eat in the dark!!! Then as I closed the door she reared back into a strike pose. Beautiful!!

Stood and watched her for a bit and she calmed down and then just yawned in my face a few times LOL. Okay so its night time now Mam!! LOL Back went the hide and she's well full of another 15g of rat!!

That girls has some appetite!!

Okay, like I say, its pretty dark (and I've just realised I didn't turn phone on its side to get a wider shot! DOH!) but here's the vid:

And a couple of pics from after too:

Backoff I'm in feed mode!!!



And.....chill!!



Goodnight!



So Im going to offer her 2 fluffs every 5days till they're gone, then get her some weaners. Hopefully she'll have put on some weight by then.

2 days since she fed so thought I'd see if she fancied coming out tonight.

She was no bother at all! Was looking out of her hide when I went to get her. She's a curious girl n whenever I do anything in the viv she comes to see what I'm up to. Didn't ball up at all when I removed the hide or stroked her, then let me pick her up no probs

Had her out for about 15/20mins. She had a bit explore of my legs and hands then curled up on my hand for a lil pic.



Shes a little poser!! So beautiful!!! I'm amazed how such a little thing has so much power! I love her face too! She looks so kind

I think she might be starting the shedding process as her dark colours have a slight blue tinge to them and her belly has a slightly pink look.

Can't wait to see her freshly shed!!
